Bug description
When the wireless feature (The one used for connecting to WiFi) is turned off, Bluetooth devices do not work consistently, even though Bluetooth itself is turned on.
Either the device connects and disconnects continuously or No audio is received to the device even if it is connected.
Turning on Wireless immediately fixes the issue.
Steps to reproduce
- Turn off Wireless, (Either use Ethernet or disconnect from Internet)
- Turn on Bluetooth and connect to a device (Headset / Ear pods etc.)
- See if audio is working as expected (It doesn't)
- Turn on Wireless (Even if no WiFi is connected)
- The Bluetooth device receives audio as expected
Expected behavior
Bluetooth should work even if Wireless is turned off as Bluetooth still stays on.
or
Turning off wireless should turn off Bluetooth too if it is dependent, or at least there should be a prompt.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the failure on Linux Mint 22.1 Cinnamon with package version 6.4.8, following the listed wireless-off and Bluetooth audio steps. The payload names no source files, tests, or entry points, so locating the Cinnamon integration involved and defining a regression test will require project familiarity; done means Bluetooth audio remains reliable while wireless is off.
