Public bug reported:
Mine is HP-G42 laptop. It has a keyboard switch to enable/disable
wireless adapter (F12 key if fn key is pressed together).
When I boot my system, the wireless is turned on by default (also bluetooth).
All work fine.
If I switch off wireless by pressing the above key. It switches off both
bluetooth and wireless. I was expecting only wireless to get switched off.
Then I cannot switch on wireless by any means. I see if I enable bluetooth
using an applet, the key's small LED turns blue which means it is on. Bluetooth
is on. But it has no effect on wireless. I had to reboot to get wireless to
work.
I expect that the key only enables and disables wireless. I also expect
that it has nothing to do with bluetooth. I don't have a hardware switch
for bluetooth. So I will control is only with software (e.g. applet).
There is another work flow which I think might help to understand the problem:
I start the system. Bluetooth, wireless are on and working fine.
Now the switch off bluetooth using the applet. Now I see that the LED of the
key turns orange which means wireless is switched off. But wireless is working
just fine without disconnection.
In short, bluetooth definitely controls the key which it is not expected to.
This key should only control wireless.
Please let me know if you need any additional information.
