Bug Description
When working on laptop, we may need an external wifi adapter in order to catch a remote access point no working well with the built-in wireless card of the laptop. In such case, it would make sense to disable the internal wireless card in order to have just the external on working. However, Ubuntu does not offer a simple way to do so.
Moreover, if I click on "Turn off" for the built-in wifi adapter in the top right corner menu (see the screenshot), both wifi adapters are swtiched off, which is not the desired effect.
See for example: https:/

Thank you for your bug report, the disable item not doing what expected in the indicator sounds like a gnome-shell issue
Would be worth reporting upstream on https:/
