I disable "by software" in Windows XP (bluetooth and wireless):
root@gumis:/sys/class/rfkill# ls
rfkill0  rfkill1  rfkill2  rfkill3
root@gumis:/sys/class/rfkill# cat rfkill*/name
phy0
hp-wifi
hp-bluetooth

Bluetooth works fine when I back to Linux, it seems be enabled during
boot. Wireless is disabled. I cannot connect to network. So I
re-enable it in Windows:
root@gumis:/sys/class/rfkill# ls
rfkill0  rfkill1  rfkill2  rfkill3
root@gumis:/sys/class/rfkill# cat rfkill*/name
phy0
hci0
hp-wifi
hp-bluetooth
root@gumis:/sys/class/rfkill# cat rfkill*/state
