The bug originally reported as above cannot be recreated with the latest updates to 12.04. It was observed immediately after upgrading from 11.10. Means, disabling WiFi does not disable Bluetooth.
Now I see some different issues and hence changed the bug summary/ title. 1) A previously disabled WiFi does not get enabled when 'Enable wireless' is selected from the drop-down UI menu. UI shows 'Wireless is disabled' 2) Press the hardware buttons to switch off radios. This shows both Bluetooth and WiFi as disabled in the UI. However, Bluetooth mouse continues working fine. 3) Enabling radios using hardware switch now enables both Bluetooth and WiFi. ** Visibility changed to: Private ** Attachment removed: "IpAddr.txt" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/996900/+attachment/3137852/+files/IpAddr.txt ** Attachment removed: "NetDevice.wlan2.txt" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/996900/+attachment/3137855/+files/NetDevice.wlan2.txt ** Attachment removed: "WifiSyslog.txt" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/996900/+attachment/3137860/+files/WifiSyslog.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/996900 Title: Disabled wireless network cannot be re-enabled from 'Wireless Networks' UI To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/996900/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
