Public bug reported:
With network-manager 0.9.4.0 and network-manager-gnome 0.9.4.1, if I
disable wireless by right-clicking on the applet and unchecking "Enable
Wireless", then the menu item is greyed out and cannot be re-enabled.
It appears that when disabling, the rfkill soft block is set on the
wireless device. NM then reports the device as hardware disabled (when
in fact it is only soft-disabled), causing the menu item to be disabled.
If one manually removes the soft block using `rfkill unblock <ID>`, then
it is possible to re-enable wireless from the applet.
The applet should instead show enable the menu option when the device is
only soft-blocked, and remove the soft block when the enable option is
selected.
