By the way, if I'm understanding things correctly, this issue is independent from the "Discard network history" one and might benefit from being handled separately. Given that the XO wouldn't use this feature (it has an internal wireless device) it seems like it should be implemented using the NetworkManager interfaces and somehow disabled on the XO, or, assuming the issue with devices not being listed with radio off is not driver related, more generically on old NetworkManager versions.
