We've discussed this with upstream and there's resistance to fixing
this.
It's a known fact that the rfkill sub-system has been broken until very
recently ( ie. the 2.6.31 re-write ). Also due to the proliferation of
rfkill devices on some platforms, it sometimes proves to be impossible
to get a correct per-device mapping.
Also please remember that the purpose of a hard kills-switch is usually
to kill all radios on a system ( ie. Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 3G, etc... ), so
what NetworkManager is doing can't really be called incorrect behavior.
I'm marking WontFix. If you still feel like this is a problem, then
I'd suggest voicing the issue on the network-manager mailing list.
** Changed in: network-manager (Ubuntu)
Status: Incomplete => Won't Fix
