Christopher M. Penalver, Yes, there is a wlan button with a led. By default all devices are activated (led white). when pressed, led becomes orange indicating that all wireless devices (wifi and bluetooth) are deactivated. When the button is pressed again wifi reactivate, but bluetooth never. Bluetooth is only active (device present detected by Linux) after Suspend/reactivate the computer.
I have a question for you. If this is a Linux kernel problem, why this wireless device works like a charm when the computer is boot by the Ubuntu liveUSB pen drive? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1653274 Title: [HP ProBook 4540s] Qualcomm Atheros bluetooth properly works with Ubuntu 16.04 LiveUSB but not on a fresh install Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I've tested my notebook with Ubuntu 16.04/17.04 (64-bit) LiveUSB pen drive and the mini-pci Qualcomm Atheros QCWB335 [168c:0036] properly works, both wifi and bluetooth. After a fresh install from the same LiveUSB pen drive, the bluetooth does not work. $ bluetooth bluetooth = none (no device) Pressing the WiFi button turns off WiFi, and does not enable bluetooth. Pressing it again turns WiFi on, but bluetooth remains off. WORKAROUND: Suspend, and unsuspend the laptop.
