Issue

Turn off bluetooth using either menu-preferences-bluetooth or the bluetooth panel icon also turns off wifi. Wifi will not reconnect even after a reboot.

Steps to reproduce

Turn on bluetooth, then see above under "Issue"

Expected behaviour

Bluetooth turns off normally, wifi continues to work

Other information

I can disable wireless without it disabling bluetooth, i.e. clicking on the wireless panel icon (or menu-preferences-network-wifi) and turning it off does not turn off the bluetooth.

Once the bluetooth (and wireless) are disabled via the bluetooth panel icon or menu-preferences-bluetooth, I cannot use the wireless panel icon (or menu-preferences-network-wifi) to turn wireless back on. It remains stuck in the off position despite clicking the icon to turn it on. The only way to get wireless functionality back is to turn bluetooth back on.

This is not an issue in Windows running the same system.
