[Launchpad Bug Tracker <909938@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

I am running ubuntu 11.10. I have been using ubuntu since 9.04. I have
11.10 installed on a Dell Inspiron switch. The OS seams to have confused
bluetooth and wireless. When I turn off bluetooth all wireless activity
immediately ceases. When I attempt to access wireless networks through
the wireless card every option is grey and I am unable to access it. It
acknowledges the pressence of the card itself, identifys it, gives me
its MAC address and even the type of card it is but I cannot turn the
wireless function on, search for wireless networks, or connect to one
via anything but the bluetooth function. It also seems to be in
perminent airplaine mode. I have turned airplaine mode off several times
and yet it still will not allow me access to my wireless functions. When
I exit the network settings folder airplaine mode is immediately re-
enstated and is "on" again when I open it back up. I have made several
attempts to rectify this and had absolutely no luck.
