[Bug 667768] [NEW] Intel Pro/Wireless 4965 hard blocked by rfkill

[skalka]

Public bug reported:

When I boot my pc with wireless switch in off position, I'm not able to activate wireless connection by switching on. In Connection Manager, Wireless Networks is disabled.
'rfkill list' shows my Wireless LAN as hard blocked. To make it working again I use 'rfkill unblock all'. If I reboot with switch in on position, wireless card remains blocked, unless I've used 'rfkill unblock all'. A similar issue was present in the past, maybe in Intrepid, solution was unloading and then loading again 'iwlagn' module. Now only rfkill helps to solve.
