[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#915315: network-manager: wifi always on at startup

[ZakharenkoA.D.]

Package: network-manager
Version: 1.14.4-4
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

What led up to the situation, and what did I do:
I tried to make wireless led working on Asus N56vj notebook. The fix has taken
the form of udev rule
ACTION=="add",KERNEL=="asus-
wireless::airplane",SUBSYSTEM=="leds",ATTR{trigger}="rfkill-none"
With this rule the led works fine, but network manager always tries to start
wifi after reboot, and is very persistent in doing so.
I was able to stop this behavior only by making systemd unit, that soft-blocks
all wireless modules and changes WirelessEnabled to false
in NetworkManager.state. A and now wireless switch (Fn+F2) starts to work only
after I manually enable wifi once in plasma-nm applet.
What I expected - the behavior of wifi to be identical with and without the
trigger set (exept for the working led, of course)
