Description of problem:

I cannot get phy0: Wireless lan rfkill switch to stop being in the hard blocked state.

I can toggle the hp-wifi/hp-bluetooth kill switches with the hard ware toggle:

[root@adelie ~]# rfkill list

        Soft blocked: no
        Hard blocked: yes
1: hp-bluetooth: Bluetooth
        Soft blocked: no
        Hard blocked: yes
2: phy0: Wireless LAN
        Soft blocked: no
        Hard blocked: yes
[root@adelie ~]# rfkill list
0: hp-wifi: Wireless LAN
        Soft blocked: no
        Hard blocked: no
