Mathieu, while it may not be an issue with NetworkManager, this is still an issue.
Should this bug be reported against another package?
If anyone knows, please assign it accordingly. (I would gladly do it myself, but I am unsure on how to proceed and would still like this to be fixed for the future)
Thank you

Title:
  wifi not configurable in network-manager showing disabled by hardware
  switch

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

Bug description:
  Network manager shows Wifi is disabled by hardware switch. It worked jut after install but not anymore after.
  I read somewhere I can use wicd and that does work.
  iwlist wlan0 scan worked also before installing that.
  Seems like a bug in network-manager to me.
  It would be nice if NM does whatever wicd does to enable the wifi card.
  I have nog physical button for wif and wifi is enabled in the UEFI firmware.
