Reboot log

That rfkill log is odd. On this laptop the RF kill switch is a physical slider
and it is certainly set to 'radios on'. There are also BIOS switches, but they
should not change once Linux starts.

I have done another reboot and attached the log. This is much longer as it
shows the whole boot process. These are the lines that I think are relevant:

So it looks as if Bluetooth at least starts unblocked but wicked reports it
blocked at 15:08:09.359895.

When I get shell access after boot, we see this:
