Airplane Mode is stuck on 'On' after I turn off + turn on wifi via the
hardware switch on my laptop (Asus N53SV-S1827V), resulting in having no
wifi. If I go to 'Network' and turn off Airplane Mode the switch does
flip visually (though wifi doesn't start connecting), but when I reopen
the Network window the switch depicts Airplane mode to be on again.
I tried 'sudo rfkill unblock all' but this doesn't solve it. I have to
restart my laptop after which Airplane Mode is still on, but now I can
effectively toggle the switch in the Network window. This results in a
crash of the Network window, but wifi starts to connect again and when
reopening the Network window it shows that Airplane Mode is off.
The above behavior doesn't happen when I turn off wifi via the software
switch, so it must be related to toggling the hardware switch.
