Hello Matthew,

I define "not working" in this case by "it switches hardware on/off without the
software knowing". 

i.e. the rfkill does not know, and the 'problem' is only noticed when the wifi
disassociates (but Network Manager tries on to reconnect). On the other hand,
invoking /sbin/rfkill [un]block wifi blocks/unblocks wifi comfortably.
