Does the indicator still read the state of WiFi from NM, or does it now
use urfkill?

I flash/wiped u81 on my mako this morning, installed all of the packages
from the silo ( except for system-settings which has a newer version
available ), and ran some tests.

The first problem I encountered was that I wanted to start with WiFi
disabled, so that I could re-enable it after FM was activated.

So, after the flash of my device, I configured it for write, added the
PPA, installed the packages.  *Disabled* Wi-Fi from the menu, and
rebooted.

Problem #1 - the network indicator shows WiFi as enabled.  Both "rfkill
list" and urfkill's enumerator script show WiFi as soft-blocked.   This
seems like an indicator bug to me ( although WiFi enabled/disabled is
being checked via NM, it could be a NM bug ).

So, I manually switch the toggle to disabled and...

- enabled FM
- enabled WiFi and connect
- disable FM ( WiFi stays connected )
- enable FM ( WiFi icon shows disconnected, FM icon appears )

However again when I open the network-menu, WiFi appears active.   Again
in this case both rfkill and urfkill's enumerate script both show the
correct values.

So...as far as I'm concerned, although the initial description provides
a scenario which causes breakage, it's a scenario that involves the user
running command-line tools to make it happen.  As such, I'll set the
Importance to High, but in my mind, it's not considered a blocker.

@Antti, if you *can* come up with a reliable scenario that involves
using the UI alone ( vs. cmd-line tools ), again by all means provide
detailed steps to reproduce.  Also it looks like a new bug should be
opened for the scenario I've described.
