Bug Description

Ubuntu version : 12.04

Enable "Airplane Mode" from System Setting --> Network .
Bluetooth can not be disabled and only disable WLAN.

Addition information :
The issue is similar as below .
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=675778
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=821422

== Request to backport to 12.04 LTS ==

[Impact]

* Airplane mode goal is to switch off every radio signal that can conflict with the airplane functioning.
* In gnome-control-center 3.4, only the Wifi is switched off, making the feature almost useless
* 12.04 LTS is an LTS, and it is currently used for pre-installed Ubuntu projects, so this is currently affecting everyone buying a pre-installed Ubuntu system or running the latest LTS

[Test Case]

Steps to reproduce:

* Switch on both wireless and bluetooth
* Enable "Airplane Mode" under System Settings -> Network

Expected behaviour:

* Both the wi-fi and bluetooth are switched off

Actual behaviour:

* Only Wi-fi is switch off. The user can still use bluetooth devices

[Regression Potential]

This adds a new backend for airplane mode. Give it a good work out to check that everything is disabled and enabled when it should be.

fix_bluetooth_wrong_state_airplane_mode.patch Edit (19.5 KiB, text/plain)

Here I attached a patch file for gnome-control-center 3.4.2
This patch is based on https://mail.gnome.org/archives/commits-list/2012-November/msg02131.html with some fixes. I have checked it makes bluetooth to be off in airplane mode.
