Flipping wifi hardware killswitch disables cellular modem at software level
What problem did you encounter
Disabling the wifi via hardware killswitch also disables the wwan at software level. Re enabling the wifi via HKS does not re enable the wwan.
To have a cellular connection again you need to re enable the modem at software level either in the power settings or in the mobile settings
What is the actual behaviour?
The one described above.
What is the expected behaviour?
Using the wifi killswitch should only affect the wifi module and not the wwan module.

Several other team members have reported this issue, (so it is not an hardware issue) : @angus.ainslie @francois.techene perhaps they can also contribute.
@sebastian.krzyszkowiak L5 that is running a different kernel is not affected by this issue.
Bellow is a video of the issue. It corresponds to:
- Disabling the wifi via HSK
- Cellular connection gets disabled
- Enabling the wifi again
- Cellular is not enabled back, and needs to be enabled at software level
