its worse if we dont innumerate the technology if its hard blocked. the
user would be confused about not seeing any wifi tech even though he knows
there is wifi on his desktop/laptop.

I agree that Giving hardblocked state  info to the UI would mean API
change. so a diff error might be a work around. ust my 2 cents.
