Public bug reported:
I have a laptop (Asus N50Vn) with Intel WiMAX/WiFi 5150 chipset
intergraded, running Ubuntu 10.04. The problem is: I have to disable
WiFi in order to enable WiMAX connection, but WiFi indicator on the
front panel of my laptop keeps glowing, despite any taken measures, even
if operating system reports wireless as switched off. WiFi (and
Bluetooth) starts every time I boot Ubuntu.
A list of ways I tried to get rid of this problem:
1. Pressing the key combination that was supposed to disable wlan/bluetooth
(Fn+F2) disables bluetooth only.
2. Unchecking "Enable Wireless" in network manager disconnects you from any
existing wireless connection and reports WiFi as disabled, but WiFi indicator
on the front panel of the laptop keeps glowing.
3. Disabling device driving module (sudo modprobe -r iwlagn) gives the same
result (Also, "Enable Wireless" checkbox disappears from menu).
4. Using the switch on the front panel of my laptop is also useless.
5. Disabling WLAN in BIOS setting is useless too.
