Mine is HP-G42 laptop. It has a keyboard switch to enable/disable
wireless adapter (F12 key if fn key is pressed together).
When I boot my system, the wireless is turned on by default (also bluetooth).
All work fine.
If I switch off wireless by pressing the above key. It switches off both
bluetooth and wireless. I was expecting only wireless to get switched off.
Then I cannot switch on wireless by any means. I see if I enable bluetooth
using an applet, the key's small LED turns blue which means it is on. Bluetooth
is on. But it has no effect on wireless. I had to reboot to get wireless to
work.
I expect that the key only enables and disables wireless. I also expect
that it has nothing to do with bluetooth. I don't have a hardware switch
for bluetooth. So I will control is only with software (e.g. applet).
There is another work flow which I think might help to understand the problem:
I start the system. Bluetooth, wireless are on and working fine.
Now the switch off bluetooth using the applet. Now I see that the LED of the
key turns orange which means wireless is switched off. But wireless is working
just fine without disconnection.
- In short, bluetooth definitely controls the key which it is not expected to.
This key should only control wireless.
