[Bug 1506888] [NEW] wifi status not remembered after reboot

 

Public bug reported:

I have HP ZBook 15 (1st generation, 2013) with ubuntu-MATE 64-bit;
latest updates installed. I am presently using an ethernet cable network
so I turn the wireless network off. After each new start or reboot of
the machine the wifi radio gets always on and I always have to switch it
off manually.

The notebook uses an Intel Corporation Centrino Advanced-N 6235 (rev 24)
wireless adapter (I hope this is a hardware version, not a driver one).

I think that the On status by default is not good for several reasons:
- energy consumption is higher
- security may be affected
- more electromagnetic radiation in environment
