Comment 69 for bug 430809

Mario:

Ok let's assume there is a BIOS bug. I would still have one last request for you. I suggest we pick the lesser of two evils and always have the driver respond the wireless is available. it _will_ cause problems if Karmic is released with a default mode of operation which prevents users from using the wireless network.

I prefer having nm-applet think the network is present even when the hardware is off than having no way to activate it.

What do you think?
