I've found a bunch of other bugs that say that the wireless is blocked
on reboot.  That's not the problem here.  Wireless works on reboot.  It
just stops working (from the GUI) if you ever disconnect from a wireless
network; and you can't get it working again afterwards.

Title:
  Toggle wireless off makes it impossible to toggle back on

Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Toggling wireless off (to disconnect) makes it impossible to later
  toggle back on.

  I have to run "rfkill unblock all" before I can toggle wireless back
  on.  Then it comes back.

  This is for Gnome3.2, which doesn't allow you to disconnect from a
  wireless network: you have to toggle the entire wireless stack off to
  disconnect.

  $ sudo rfkill list all
  0: sony-wifi: Wireless LAN
  	Soft blocked: yes
  	Hard blocked: no
  1: sony-bluetooth: Bluetooth
  	Soft blocked: no
  	Hard blocked: no
  2: phy0: Wireless LAN
  	Soft blocked: yes
  	Hard blocked: no
  4: hci0: Bluetooth
  	Soft blocked: no
  	Hard blocked: no

  Toggling it back on should soft-unblock if toggling it off soft-
  blocks.
