Issues when 2 wireless adapters are working at the same time #77

I plugged the rtl8188eu into my laptop and make it work with preinstalled Intel 7260ac. If I turn off one adapter, the another will also be turned off. And if I disable the physical swtich of Intel 7260ac, the rtl8188eu adpater will become unavailable too. Is this a dirver bug or other unknown issues?

Setting a physical wifi switch to off will set a hard block with rfkill. If any adapter sets rfkill, ALL wireless is turned off.That is by design, and is not a bug. If you want one adapter to work with the other off, you need to unload the driver.
