How are you disabling wireless, with a button/switch on your laptop or
by unchecking "Enable Wi-Fi" in the network indicator? linux-firmware
isn't the right package for this bug, but until you answer this question
I'm not sure which package is the right one. Thanks!

Title:
  wifi status not remembered after reboot

Status in linux-firmware package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  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
