Wifi blocked after update

After last update I couldn't start wifi with #wifi-menu, receiving "No networks"

Trying to ip link set wlp16s0 up I got "Operation not possible due to RF-kill"

after boot:

0: phy0: Wireless LAN
	Soft blocked: no
	Hard blocked: yes
1: hp-wifi: Wireless LAN
	Soft blocked: yes
	Hard blocked: no
2: hp-bluetooth: Bluetooth
	Soft blocked: yes
	Hard blocked: no
3: hp-wwan: Wireless WAN
	Soft blocked: yes
	Hard blocked: no
4: hp-gps: GPS
	Soft blocked: yes
	Hard blocked: yes

rfkill unblock wifi does that:

0: phy0: Wireless LAN
	Soft blocked: no
	Hard blocked: no
1: hp-wifi: Wireless LAN
	Soft blocked: no
	Hard blocked: no
2: hp-bluetooth: Bluetooth
	Soft blocked: yes
	Hard blocked: no
3: hp-wwan: Wireless WAN
	Soft blocked: yes
	Hard blocked: no
4: hp-gps: GPS
	Soft blocked: yes
	Hard blocked: yes

But after reboot I need to rfkill unblock again.

iwl4965, linux 3.9.2

What to do?

Re: Wifi blocked after update

whose problem is this? It's obviously a bug with a workaround "#systemctl enable rfkill-unblock@wifi",
but I can't understand what causes this...
