When turning off WiFi, Airplane mode is automatically turned on. If I then turn off Airplane Mode WiFi is turned back on. This is especially annoying if I'm about to connect a USB 3G-dongle for instance, whereas I don't want to use WiFi, but I want to disable it before connecting the dongle. 12.04 LTS.
