Bug Description

I disable WLAN with the laptop switch. Then I suspend en wake-up. Now I use the laptop switch again to enable WLAN again. This does not work (no WLAN). I expect WLAN to toggle when using the hardware switch on the laptop.

It turns out that there is a software bit "Enable Wireless". I toggle this radio button (enable) it, WLAN works again. But I have never disabled WLAN by this software button.
