I like this one too, but in my experience, it IS persistent. I am using
KNetworkManager though. I would like to go one step further: even if I
turn it on, next time it boots turned off. Reason being if NM touches
the interface, it appears as if straight wpa_supplicant (with LEAP,
etc.) does not work after NM has touched the interface. I could
implement this with a dbus call on boot, though.
