  Networking (Wifi Hardware Switched Off)

Status in The Linux Kernel:

  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Expected Result:

  User goes to Bluetooth GUI and toggles Bluetooth off because they
  either are not using it or to conserve power

  Actual Result:

  User toggles Bluetooth off but same toggle also disables Wireless
  Networking which cannot be re-enabled without toggling bluetooth back
  on and rebooting.
