The Network manager bug report indicate that this should be handled by
the driver. Do you still see this problem in more recent Ubuntu
versions? How is it reproduced?

Title:
Disabling wireless connection should trigger rfkill
Status in Network Manager GNOME Applet:
Unknown
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Status in “network-manager-applet” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
When disabling wireless networking in the network manager applet, the
rfkill switch for the wireless card should be triggered.
For two reasons:
1) No sense drawing power for the transmitter if the user does not want to
use wireless.
2) On some systems (eg. EeePC) there is no hw switch, so disabling the
wireless connectivity should kill all wireless activity.
Furthermore due to 2) all wireless drivers should initialize with
rfkill enabled and wait for NM to enable wireless communications.
Otherwise booting a device without a hw switch on a plane could cause
problems. (So this affects NM and the kernel as well). Perhaps this
should be a configuration option: default to on, default to off,
default to last status.
Thanks,
Dominik
