Public bug reported:
When I UNCHECK the "Enable Wireless" option in Network Manager Applet,
the wireless radio is turned off (using madwifi), and I save about 2 Watts of
power in my laptop.
But when I am already connecting via wireless and I plug in the ethernet
cable, Network Manager automatically switches to the wired network,
but it does NOT turn the wireless radio off, wasting power.
Shouldn't it cut the wireless radio power the same way it does when
I uncheck "Enable Wireless"?
Macbook Core2Duo with Atheros Wireless.
Using latest madwifi-ng CVS.
