[Bug 962621] Re: Turning off bluetooth via the panel applet disables the wireless instead

 

The laptop was HP Pavilion dm1-4010us.

Took me a while to dig up the information as I don't have that laptop
anymore.  Can't help with testing either, unfortunately, but would be
happy to answer any questions if I can.

Good luck with sorting that bug.

Title:
  Turning off bluetooth via the panel applet disables the wireless
  instead

Status in The Linux Kernel:
  Confirmed
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Trying to turn off bluetooth (which I don't use) through the applet in
  the top right-hand side panel  disables the wireless instead.  The
  wireless won't come back up until I run "sudo rfkill unblock all."

  tsj@linux-laptop:~$ lsb_release -rd
  Description:	Ubuntu precise (development branch)
  Release:	12.04

  Apt-cache policy indicates there's no bluetooth installed:
  tsj@linux-laptop:~$ apt-cache policy bluetooth
  bluetooth:
    Installed: (none)
    Candidate: 4.98-2ubuntu6
    Version table:
       4.98-2ubuntu6 0
                  500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise/universe amd64 Packages

  However, according to the Software Centre the following packages are installed:
  - Bluetooth
  - Bluetooth Transfer
  - Bluetooth Device Setup

  My wireless card is Broadcom BCM4313 and I use the proprietary wl
  driver since the brcmsmac driver works intermittently at best with my
  chipset.

  The same problem occurs with the brcmsmac driver (I unblacklisted and
  loaded the driver to see what happens): clicking on "bluetooth off"
  disables the wireless.

  For what it's worth, upon login I get a message that bluetoothd closed
  unexpectedly (see bug #857702).

  If any more information is needed I'd be happy to provide it.
