Public bug reported:

Trying to turn off bluetooth (which I don't use) through the applet in
the top right-hand side panel  disables the wireless instead.  The
wireless won't come back up until I run "sudo rfkill unblock all."

tsj at linux-laptop:~$ lsb_release -rd
Description:	Ubuntu precise (development branch)
Release:	12.04

Apt-cache policy indicates there's no bluetooth installed:
tsj at linux-laptop:~$ apt-cache policy bluetooth

  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 4.98-2ubuntu6
  Version table:

                500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise/universe amd64 Packages

Howevere, according to the Software Centre the following packages are installed:
- Bluetooth
- Bluetooth Transfer
- Bluetooth Device Setup

My wireless card is Broadcom BCM4313 and I use the proprietary wl driver
since the brcmsmac driver works intermittently at best with my chipset.

The same problem occurs with the brcmsmac driver (I unblacklisted and
loaded the driver to see what happens): clicking on "bluetooth off"
disables the wireless.

For what it's worth, upon login I get a message that bluetoothd closed
unexpectedly (see bug #857702).

If any more information is needed I'd be happy to to provided it.
