Yes, I have the "Fn+F3" combination and a hardware switch for wireless
connections. The hardware switch only seems to turn everything off,
since it's light only goes off and with the "Fn+F3" I get no reaction.

I tried to check with "rfkill list all" what happens with the two
options but it is just not regular. every time something else in the
above mentioned list of devices switches from yes to no or the other way
around. If you want a couple of examples, I can play around and save it
to a plane text file!
