From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I wrote a script to turn the power of the the Wifi+Bluetooth chip off, then enumerate the PCIe bus again to start it back up.
The chip sometimes hung itself when using both. I looked for the bug and even found an Intel engineer on some mailing list admitting that they had issues with coexistance mode.
Just turning the wireless off and back on wasn't enough I needed to reeinitialize the hardware and that was the best way I knew.
