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. ** Affects: indicator-network (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Attachment added: "wifi_mako.png" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1355776/+attachment/4175384/+files/wifi_mako.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to indicator-network in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1355776 Title: WiFi shown as enabled in indicator while enabled in status bar Status in “indicator-network” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: After disabling WiFi and rebooting, WiFi appears as enabled in indicator-network and system settings.
