Public bug reported:
After having reported problems with my S10e's WLAN I bought an USB WLAN
dongle, that works fine.
But it only works if the hardware switch for WLAN is enabled - thus at
the moment the internal WLAN interface and the external need to be on to
make it work. Unfortunately (as reported in bug 1385059) this means that
the internal interface is sucking up my battery when it tries to connect
without success.
My expected behaviour would be to disable the internal WLAN via hardware
switch and be able to plugin my USB WLAN dongle.
I've attached lsmod-output with WLAN enabled (USB dongle working
perfectly, while internal WLAN hardware is constantly scanning for
networks) and after disabling the internal WLAN.
$ lsb_release -rd
