I was going to say, we can't just turn off Wi-Fi when you stop the hotspot, because you might be using Wi-Fi for something else at the same time.
Then I realized, no, if you're running a hotspot you *can't* be using Wi-Fi for anything else at the same time. Duh. So, specification updated. <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Networking?action=diff&rev2=310&rev1=309> Matthias, I don't see the question you're referring to. Please report a separate bug with a screenshot. ** Description changed: When I switch on hotspot and Wifi was off before, it asks me, if Wifi should be turned on too, which I think is fine. - But when I later turn off hotspot, Wifi stays silently on and consumes energy. - I think, in this case if Wifi was off before it should be turned off again. + But when I later turn off hotspot, Wifi stays silently on and consumes + energy.
