Title:
Toggle wireless off makes it impossible to toggle back on
Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Toggling wireless off (to disconnect) makes it impossible to later
toggle back on.
I have to run "rfkill unblock all" before I can toggle wireless back
on. Then it comes back.
This is for Gnome3.2, which doesn't allow you to disconnect from a
wireless network: you have to toggle the entire wireless stack off to
disconnect.
$ sudo rfkill list all
0: sony-wifi: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: yes
Hard blocked: no

Hard blocked: no
2: phy0: Wireless LAN

Toggling it back on should soft-unblock if toggling it off soft-
blocks.
