Hi,
I got this annoying issue with my wifi card (TP-LINK TL-WN722N) which doesn't switch off when I shutdown my computer.
As a workaround I have to disable the wifi each time I want to shut down. After booting up I need to enable wifi again.
I have tried to switch to linux-lts with same results.
It was working couple of kernel updates ago. Then it worked just with linux-lts. Currently the issue exists with both current and lts kernels.
However I am not sure if this is an issue related to kernels.
iwconfig output (I have removed ESSID and Access Point details):

Any idea how to fix it?
