Public bug reported:

Toggling wireless off (to disconnect) makes it impossible to later
toggle back on.

I have to run "rfkill unblock all" before I can toggle wireless back on.
Then it comes back.

This is for Gnome3.2, which doesn't allow you to disconnect from a
wireless network: you have to toggle the entire wireless stack off to
disconnect.

$ sudo rfkill list all
0: sony-wifi: Wireless LAN
	Soft blocked: yes
	Hard blocked: no
1: sony-bluetooth: Bluetooth
	Soft blocked: no
	Hard blocked: no
2: phy0: Wireless LAN
	Soft blocked: yes
	Hard blocked: no
4: hci0: Bluetooth
	Soft blocked: no
	Hard blocked: no

Toggling it back on should soft-unblock if toggling it off soft-blocks.
