Hi Rohan,

If you could also please test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.

Hi
I tried the new kernel as well and still get the toggling problem,though it seems to be a bit less frequently now ( maybe once or twice every boot )

Hi
Now after 2 kernel updates my wireless is completely useless,the RF_kill operation has disabled wireless and i cannot use ifconfig to bring it up.

SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not possible due to RF-kill
shadeslayer@kubuntu:~/ninja/kdegames$ sudo ifconfig wlan0 down

Hi
I still get this a couple of times, usually the bluetooth radio comes online
and a notification pops up which indicates that my WLAN card was activated
