Bug Description

New release of the network indicator now has "flight mode" the description says it is designed to turn off all radio networking. But does not turn off bluetooth.

Also I fail to see why bluetooth has it's own indicator, makes sense to include it in with the network indicator.

It's an indicator-network bug, or even actually something in connman or related backends.

Sounds like this is about nm-applet and network-manager, not about indicator-network and connman.

Kalle, correct, I think this is in nm-applet...

However; bluetooth wasn't being disabled either before the patch, so it's unclear how much control we can have over it in NetworkManager. That's partly why there is a different, totally unrelated indicator for bluetooth.

Reverting Flight Mode menu item since it's confusing to users, especially when it doesn't concern bluetooth in any way.
