GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 563450
NetworkManager does not remember bluetooth/wlan deactivation
Last modified: 2009-03-04 18:27:13 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?)
