Public bug reported:
Switching off the wireless switch works,
BUT switching on doesn't work,
following
https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/ubuntu-63/wireless-became-disabled-how-do-i-enable-858357/
i had to use rfkill to reenable that device - i assume that some even is
not mapped correctly - here some debug output:
benste@benste-vpc-sb1c5e:~$ sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
