Wi-Fi and bluetooth appear as disabled

[José Rojas]

According to rfkill, my Bluetooth (and Wi-Fi) devices are "blocked by hardware". Nonetheless, bluetooth is functional, when connected to a device.

When there's no active connection, bluetooth appears as disabled in the panel.
When I turn on a device that's already peered, it gets automatically connected and the popout message when I place the cursor in the panel's icon reads "bluetooth active- One active connection".
But when I click on the bluetooth icon on the panel, an error message appears that reads that bluetooth is OFF, but in reality it is ON and CONNECTED to a device.

Something similar might be happening to the Wi-Fi as it is also shown as "disabled" and can't be enabled.

PS. Some days they have worked fine. I mean, I have turned on the laptop and "magically" both bluetooth and wifi were working.

But, unfortunately they aren't working now and haven't been working for a few days already.
