Maybe because the rfkill soft on off is not working properly?

Mind: I do not contest the function of the "ON OFF" button, that is
fine if it is the rfkill soft block.

I contest the *inability* to *disconnect* from the current network
and stop connecting. Probably the same what
	nmcli con down <current>
would do.

Best wishes
