Description paull 2008-12-06 14:23:25 UTC
Please describe the problem:
In the last Ubuntu version prior to Intrepid Ibex my laptop (Thinkpad T40p) would always remember wether its internal bluetooth/wlan cards had been activated or not when I last used the computer. 

Since upgrading to intrepid ibex the bluetooth/wlan is ALWAYS turned on after starting the computer. Doesn't matter if I deactivate them (right-click on the network manager top-right of the screen) - next time when I reboot, the two of them are turned on again.


Steps to reproduce:
1. Deactivate Wireless network (rightclick network manager)
2. Restart
3. Check activation status of Wireless network

For Bluetoot:
1. Deactivate by toogling function-keys (for me: Fn-F5)
2. Restart
3. Check activation status of Bluetoot network


Actual results:
Step 3: Wireless/Bluetooth is ON

Expected results:
Step 3: Wireless/Bluetooth should be OFF

Does this happen every time?
yes

Other information:
Besides being annoying: I think this could also be a security issue (risking automatic unwanted wlan-connectivity with foreign networks?)
