I would like to start with Wireless disabled completely and enable it from
network manager whenever i need it.

Now, i have blacklisted the wireless module (in
/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf) and i make a script that executes

modprobe iwlagn

in order to start wireless.

Loading the module makes wireless to start in network manager in my acer
5920g latop.

And i would like to know if there is a simpler and more elegant way to do
this.. maybe using network manager.
