Plugging In Iphone Disables Wifi

[Clean]

@ trinidad Thanks!

So I went into the bios to check if the WiFi adapter was enabled and to see if there were settings for the switch.

I disabled the WiFi adapter rebooted and then enabled the adapter and rebooted.  This didn't help.
I then disabled the WiFi adapter and there is a setting where i can select "none" for the wireless switch.  This setting essentially ignores the switch.  I rebooted and still nothing. 
Still blocked by rfkill.

Next I enabled my wireless device and ignored the wireless switch.  Nothing, still blocked. :banghead

So, I removed rfkill.

Code:

sudo apt-get purge rfkill
sudo apt-get purge --auto-remove rfkill

Both commands removed something.  So then I rebooted.  Upon reboot I went back in to the Bios, I made sure to have enabled wireless adapter and I left the wireless switch setting set to "none" which essentially ignores the switch. 

I now have WiFi access back on my laptop.
So you are correct!  :045: :bow It is in fact the switch causing the issue. 

Is there a way to go about fixing this?  I would prefer the switch worked properly and I would also prefer rfkill to be re-installed as I understand Linux uses it as a kill-swtich when needed.

So I have re-installed rfkill

Code:

sudo apt-get install rfkill
rfkill list

0: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no

So now I am no longer blocked and have access to the internet. 
But my switch is basically ignored/disabled. 
Is there a way to fix this?
