Interesting... If you've used the network menu in the widgets to turn off WiFi, then the button will not do anything for WiFi, but it will continue to switch Bluetooth off/on. The color of the button does not change.
If you then turn ON WiFi through the menu, the WiFi button will work for both Bluetooth and WiFi, but still does not change color. The mute button appears to work correctly, turning color to orange when mute is on. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1258675 Title: hardware switch of wireless not working for Centrino Advanced-N 6235 Status in The Linux Kernel: New Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I have ubuntu 13.10 64-bit running on a HP ZBook 15. The notebook uses an Intel Corporation Centrino Advanced-N 6235 (rev 24) wireless adapter. The wireless networking principally works. The issue is that it is not possible to enable or disable it using the hardware button. The only way is the software control (clicking on "Enable Wi-Fi"). BTW, when I click on "Enable Wi-Fi", it indicates the changes status of the wifi radio by changing the colour of the light on the hardware button. (This is the correct and expected behaviour. What is wrong is that I can not change the status by pressing the hardware button.)
