Bug#598091: gnome-bluetooth: Sony Vaio TX3, turn off bluetooth but bluetooth light stays lit

[John Hughes]

Package: gnome-bluetooth
Version: 2.30.0-2
Severity: normal


When I pick the "turn off bluetooth" option I'd expect the bluetooth light
to go out.  It doesn't.

the /sys entry
/sys/devices/platform/sony-laptop/bluetoothpower 

still shows 255.

Setting it to zero makes the light go out, and the bluetooth applet's icon
disappears.  Setting it back to 255 turns it back on again and the icon
comes back.
