Title:
  Can't turn off 'Airplane Mode' after toggling hardware wifi switch

Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Airplane Mode is stuck on 'On' after I turn off + turn on wifi via the
  hardware switch on my laptop (Asus N53SV-S1827V), resulting in having
  no wifi. If I go to 'Network' and turn off Airplane Mode the switch
  does flip visually (though wifi doesn't start connecting), but when I
  reopen the Network window the switch depicts Airplane mode to be on
  again.

  I tried 'sudo rfkill unblock all' but this doesn't solve it. I have to
  restart my laptop after which Airplane Mode is still on, but now I can
  effectively toggle the switch in the Network window. This results in a
  crash of the Network window, but wifi starts to connect again and when
  reopening the Network window it shows that Airplane Mode is off.

  The above behavior doesn't happen when I turn off wifi via the
  software switch, so it must be related to toggling the hardware
  switch.
