           Summary: networkmanagement and rfkill
           Product: kde
           Version: 4.7
          Platform: Gentoo Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: StormByte at gmail.com


Version:           4.7 (using KDE 4.7.3) 
OS:                Linux

Don't know if this is a bug in networkmanager or in networkmanager of KDE.

I have 2 wireless network cards, one USB (ralink) and internal one (intel
iwlwifi).
The last, has a rfkill switch to disable adapter (and bluetooth).
The problem is that when I have intel disabled due to rfkill, KDE refuses to
use the other wireless card, because enable wireless is disabled and can't be
enabled.

So for now, my solution is to rmmod iwlwifi and force using only the other one,
but the desired behaviour is to detect that other wireless adapter is available
and not rfkilled and use it anyway.

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
Have 2 wireless cards in a laptop for example, one USB and the internal one.
Use the rfkill function of the internal one while having the other connected,
and see how networkmanagement refuses to use it

Actual Results:  
Any wireless network can be connected

Expected Results:  
Use the other adapter to connect to wireless networks
