Here you are :

Led is blue, wifi does not work (testing with airodump-ng)

	linux-m1ew:~ # rfkill list
	0: hp-wifi: Wireless LAN
		Soft blocked: yes
		Hard blocked: no
	1: phy0: Wireless LAN
		Soft blocked: yes
		Hard blocked: no
	linux-m1ew:~ # rfkill unblock hp-wifi
	Bogus unblock argument 'hp-wifi'.
	linux-m1ew:~ # rfkill unblock 0
	linux-m1ew:~ # rfkill list
	0: hp-wifi: Wireless LAN
		Soft blocked: no
		Hard blocked: no
	1: phy0: Wireless LAN
		Soft blocked: yes
		Hard blocked: no
	linux-m1ew:~ # rfkill list
	0: hp-wifi: Wireless LAN
		Soft blocked: no
		Hard blocked: no
	1: phy0: Wireless LAN
		Soft blocked: yes
		Hard blocked: no
	linux-m1ew:~ # rfkill unblock 1
	linux-m1ew:~ # rfkill list
	0: hp-wifi: Wireless LAN
		Soft blocked: no
		Hard blocked: no
	1: phy0: Wireless LAN
		Soft blocked: no
		Hard blocked: no
	linux-m1ew:~ # 

Led is still blue, wifi works

Touching the soft key
Led stays blue, wifi does not work anymore (testing with airodump-ng)

	linux-m1ew:~ # rfkill list
	0: hp-wifi: Wireless LAN
		Soft blocked: no
		Hard blocked: yes
	1: phy0: Wireless LAN
		Soft blocked: no
		Hard blocked: yes
	linux-m1ew:~ # dmesg | tail

	linux-m1ew:~ # 

Touching the soft key again
Led stays blue, wifi works again (testing with airodump-ng)

	linux-m1ew:~ # rfkill list
	0: hp-wifi: Wireless LAN
		Soft blocked: no
		Hard blocked: no
	1: phy0: Wireless LAN

	linux-m1ew:~ # 

So the problems are :

- often wifi is blocked, but (except for `sudo rfkill' now) my daughter had
no way to enable it,
- the led does not reflect the wifi enabled/disabled state.
- messages from kernel about `Unknown key pressed'
