Title:
  Ubuntu has confused my bluetooth feature with my wireless card

Status in “network-manager-applet” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  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.
