I then tried running
sudo rfkill unblock wlan
and then
rfkill list:

Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
1: phy0: Wireless LAN

It still shows that it's hard blocked.
Pretty sure "hard" means blocked in the hardware. A few years ago a friend of

recall was the same sort of issue. He fixed it by toggling the switch on the laptop
repeatedly.
Apparently it was a "sticky" problem.
