I can confirm this bug affects my laptop Sony Vaio F Series model
VPCF120FL, that uses Intel Corporation Centrino Advanced-N 6200,
wireless card.
To reproduce, one just have to follow the steps mentioned in comment #3:
* Click nm-applet to activate the drop-down.
* Uncheck "Enable Wireless" from the nm-applet drop-down.
* Click nm-applet a second time to activate the drop-down.
* Note under "Wireless Networks" in the nm-applet drop-down, the message
"wireless is disabled by hardware switch".
* Note that "Enable Wireless" in the nm-applet drop-down is greyed out.
To re-enable wireless:
* Open a terminal.
$ sudo rfkill unblock all
$ sudo service network-manager restart
* Click nm-applet to activate the drop-down.
* Check "Enable Wireless" from the nm-applet drop-down.
