Dialogue showing active connections despite the Aeroplane mode being turned on

The aeroplane mode from Network Manager does not do what I expected. I expected all connections to be shut down, esp. Wireless and Mobile Broadband. However, Network Manager allows to use both, although I am in "Aeroplane mode".

IMO there's nothing like Aeroplane mode in NetworkManager.
Comment 2 Milan Bouchet-Valat 2012-07-26 10:08:26 UTC 
What version of GNOME is that? 3.2? Could you try with a more recent version? (In 3.4, the aeroplane switch is in the bar at the top.)
Comment 3 Bastien Nocera 2012-07-26 14:48:30 UTC 
There is something like Airplane mode in NetworkManager:
nm_client_wireless_set_enabled()
(and the associated _set_enabled() functions)
But that doesn't turn off GPS, or FM radio, etc. so we'd need to do this ourselves.
