Comment 18 for bug 823615

Hm. This looks roughly like what I'm experiencing where if I uncheck wifi in gnome-shell or XFCE4 (haven't tried in Unity yet) it is permanently killed. XFCE4's network tool reports that the rf kill switch has been used (not so, I just used the network gui).

Oddly, if I actually toggle the real physical rf kill switch, while bluetooth goes on and off, wifi stays dead.

I have to reboot to recover.

Yes, I know not precisely the same machine/pattern, but still seems related so just gonna watch this one to see what happens.

Right now, I just avoid disabling wireless as much as possible.

Oh. And was fine in Natty.
