After some testing, I think that the cause of this bug is not to be
found in the package bcmwl, as mentioned above, rather than a defect in
the hp-wmi kernel module that is causing the shutdown of both the WiFi
and Bluetooth when one is turned off.
The solution I presented (ie to prevent loading the module hp-wmi) in
previous posts is considered a workaround, although I confirm that the
use of hp-wmi driver is not essential for the correct functioning of
WiFi and Bluetooth.
Preconditions for the occurrence of the problem:
1) The hp-wmi kernel module loaded
2) The command "rfkill list" must show interfaces "hp-wifi" and "hp-bluetooth".
Steps to reproduce the bug:
1) In a terminal, run the following command:
bluetooth rfkill block
or
wifi rfkill block
2) This will cause the shutdown of both Wifi and Bluetooth
