Expected

WiFi radio is disabled and Wireless disabled in network-manager.

Actual
--------

PS: I have previously tried to find an avenue to report bugs to the upstream maintainer, including sending direct e-mail. So far, I have been unsuccessful. I will likely upload a fixed version of the program to my PPA repository at some point in the near future so that there will at least be a working version available.
