Subject: Failed to set mode: Blocked through rfkill (0x12)

I'm trying to get bluetooth working and it sometimes does and sometimes
not;)

I've got two chips:

BCM4360 (on motherboard, which never works)
BCM20702A0 (Targus BT USB Adapter, which works mostly)

I'm only interested in the BCM20702A0, right now.

When I do sudo systemctl status bluetooth.service, I get:
● bluetooth.service - Bluetooth service
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/bluetooth.service; enabled;
vendor preset: enabled)
Active: active (running) since ti. 2016-06-14 15:10:14 CEST; 4h 50min

, but if I check rfkill list, it's not blocked:
0: hci0: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
2: hci1: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no

Any pointers to what may cause this? Where does these messages come
from? I'm sure it works again if
I reboot, but I need to get to the bottom of this;)
