Bluetooth led isn't being turned off when bluetooth is disabled

[kolya]

Hardware: Dell Inspiron 6400

Problem: I disable bluetooth in bluetooth applet. Bluetooth icon becomes 'grey' but bluetooth led on the laptop is still on.

Expected: bluetooth led to go off when bluetooth is disabled.

This used to work fine in 11.04 and problem exists in 12.10.\\Please let me know if I can provide any more information.

Thanks!

Can confirm seeing the same issue with 13.10 and Dell Wireless 350 Bluetooth adaptor. Likely this is a kernel issue and will need reporting upstream.

 #182101 is now marked invalid

This is reported against an old version of Ubuntu and many things has changed since then. Because of that we won't fix this issue however if this behavior repeats on a modern version please fill a bug report against it and we will take it from there.
