Title:
  wireless hardware switch does not work correctly. it is controlled by
  bluetooth manager.

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  UPDATE: I filed this bug report on 11.10. I am on 12.04 now. I don't
  see this problem. Wireless hardware switch works fine.

  ----

  Mine is HP-G42 laptop. It has a keyboard switch to enable/disable
  wireless adapter (F12 key if fn key is pressed together).

  When I boot my system, the wireless is turned on by default (also bluetooth). All work fine.
  If I switch off wireless by pressing the above key. It switches off both bluetooth and wireless. I was expecting only wireless to get switched off.
  Then I cannot switch on wireless by any means. I see if I enable bluetooth using an applet, the key's small LED turns blue which means it is on. Bluetooth is on. But it has no effect on wireless. I had to reboot to get wireless to work.

  I expect that the key only enables and disables wireless. I also
  expect that it has nothing to do with bluetooth. I don't have a
  hardware switch for bluetooth. So I will control is only with software
  (e.g. applet).

  There is another work flow which I think might help to understand the problem:
  I start the system. Bluetooth, wireless are on and working fine.
  Now the switch off bluetooth using the applet. Now I see that the LED of the key turns orange which means wireless is switched off. But wireless is working just fine without disconnection.

  In short, bluetooth definitely controls the key which it is not
  expected to. This key should only control wireless.

  Please let me know if you need any additional information.
