[Bug 1355776] [NEW] WiFi shown as enabled in indicator while enabled in status bar

 

Public bug reported:

After disabling WiFi and rebooting, WiFi appears as enabled in
indicator-network and system settings.

This contradicts what is shown in the status bar (see attached
screenshot).

WiFi interface exists, but it is down:

# ip address
22: wlan0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN group default qlen 100
    link/ether 10:68:3f:7a:92:d5 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

While wifi RF is not blocked:

# rfkill list
0: phy0: Wireless LAN
	Soft blocked: no
	Hard blocked: no
1: hci0: Bluetooth
	Soft blocked: no
	Hard blocked: no

Which is coherent with urfkill persistent state:

# cat /var/lib/urfkill/saved-states 
[ALL]
soft=false

[WLAN]
soft=false
...

However, saved-states was before rebooting (after disabling wifi):

~# cat /var/lib/urfkill/saved-states 
[ALL]
soft=false

[WLAN]
soft=true
...

Difficult to say were exactly is the error, but apparently something is
powering on WiFi.
