Description Lion Yang 2016-07-25 07:16:43 UTC
I turned my laptop's wireless interface down by pressing Fn + F2 ("Wireless Network & Bluetooth"), it worked perfectly: the wireless checkbox was unchecked automatically.

But weird things happened when I turn it up again: the SSID list showed and my WLAN (which was set to connnect automatically) was connected automatically, though the checkbox was not change (check) at all.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make sure the checkbox is 'on'
2. Turn the wireless interface down.
3. Turn the wireless interface up.

Actual Results:  
The wireless interface will be turned up, but the checkbox will be still 'off'.

Expected Results:  
Turn on the checkbox automatically, or keep the interface down.

Nothing special.

Note: I've cleaned many log items to prevent tons of access points filling it, you can find that the serial number of dbus log is not continuous.

I tested this couple of times but I'm unable to reproduce it. 

Tested with: 
- pressing Fn + F8 (in my case to turn off the wifi)
- using rfkill
- disabling the wifi over DBus

Closing as I was unable to reproduce this issue back then. Please reopen this bug if you are still able to reproduce this with Plasma 5.10.
