Issue/Bug Description: Wifi is turned of if Wifi power saving is disabled in Settings -> Power Saving

Steps to reproduce (if you know):

  1. Start Settings
  2. Go to Power
  3. Under Power Saving -> disable Wifi power saving by clicking button.

Expected behavior: Wifi shall still be on when power saving is disabled

Other Notes: It works Ok if it is changed manully. /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/default-wifi-powersave-on.conf wifi.powersave = 2

While it is not super clear, GNOME has that toggle in the Power Saving settings to turn off Wifi (as it does save battery with WiFi disabled). I always believed this then works as intended.

Now @tompatulpan has me wondering if wifi.powersave = 2 is what was intended (or should be intended).

There looks to be a somewhat recent conversation about this upstream here: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/issues/681

I tried to modify the wifi.powersave = 2 but he stays on in the settings, you too or he should be turned off ?

Obviously i tried to turn it manually again but the problem stay the same. Maybe problem comes from my wireless card.
