First of all, my assumption here was that no WiFi icon would be shown on
the display if WiFi was disabled, and that an icon with empty "beam"
would be shown if WiFi was enabled but we where not connected to any.

If that is not the case, and the same icon is used in both cases, we
would need to rethink that, as the user should have feedback on which is
the current WiFi status.

Second, I also see issues like the one in indic_wifi_wrong.png (just
attached now): in this case, I disabled WiFi, and icons on the status
bar were not right, but the WiFi switch was wrong. ifconfig showed that
wlan0 was down.

Title:
  WiFi shown as enabled in indicator while disabled in status bar

Status in “indicator-network” package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in “urfkill” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  After disabling WiFi and rebooting, WiFi appears as enabled in
  indicator-network and system settings.

  This contradicts what is shown in the status bar (see attached
  screenshot).

  WiFi interface exists, but it is down:

  # ip address
  22: wlan0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN group default qlen 100
      link/ether 10:68:3f:7a:92:d5 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

  While wifi RF is not blocked:

  # rfkill list
  0: phy0: Wireless LAN
   Soft blocked: no
   Hard blocked: no
  1: hci0: Bluetooth
   Soft blocked: no
   Hard blocked: no

  Which is coherent with urfkill persistent state:

  # cat /var/lib/urfkill/saved-states
  [ALL]
  soft=false

  [WLAN]
  soft=false
  ...

  However, saved-states was before rebooting (after disabling wifi):

  ~# cat /var/lib/urfkill/saved-states
  [ALL]
  soft=false

  [WLAN]
  soft=true
  ...

  Difficult to say were exactly is the error, but apparently something
  is powering on WiFi.
