["Christopher M. Penalver" <christopher.m.penalver@xxxxxxxxx>]

Michael Tinsay, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been
any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an
issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development
release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in
the development release from a Terminal
(Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the daily folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.11-rc5

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

Title:
  Wi-Fi interface "disabled by a hardware switch" if no *Ethernet* cable
  plugged in at boot -- Broadcom BCM4313 wl bcma brcmsmac; Realtek
  RTL8101E/RTL8102E r8169

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  
  I have set-up a bridge (br0) on eth0 of my laptop, as I'm using KVM from time to time.

  This is the content of /etc/network/interfaces:

  aaa@xxx:~$ cat /etc/network/interfaces 
  # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
  # and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

  # The loopback network interface
  auto lo
  iface lo inet loopback

  #
  auto eth0
  iface eth0 inet manual

  auto br0
  iface br0 inet dhcp
  	bridge_ports eth0
  	bridge_stp off
  	bridge_fd 0
  	bridge_maxwait 0

  My problem is, if I boot WITHOUT a live connection plugged into the
  ethernet port of my laptop, NetworkManager sees my WiFi as "disabled
  by a hardware switch".  As such, I can't use WiFi when there's no LAN.
  I can use WiFi when there's a LAN connection present, but it defeats
  the purpose of having a WiFi connection.
