Title:
  Ubuntu doesn't remember hardware settings on reboot

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Some hardware options, such as screen brightness, bluetooth and
  wireless on/off state and touchpad on/off led light.

  Whenever I turn on my laptop, the screen brightness is always on
  maximum, no matter how it was before shutdown; the bluetooth and wifi
  are always off. The touchpad is ok (if I turn it off, then reboot, it
  is sill off); the problem here lays on the touchpad status led: no
  matter what's the real state of the touchpad, the led is always off
  when I turn the computer on. The following scenario describes it
  better:

  (The led on is supposed to indicate when the touchpad is off)

  Touchpad ON -> Led OFF (OK, so I turn it off)
  Touchpad OFF -> Led ON (OK, let's reboot)
  Touchpad OFF -> Led OFF (Here lays the problem: the touchpad is still off, but the led is on)

  To get things normal again I have reboot the laptop with the led on,
  so the led will be off and everything will be in sync again.

  My laptop is a Dell XPS 15 (L502X)
  I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.

  I don't know what additional information I can provide (such as log
  files), but I'll be happy to provide any helpful resource.
