Hello,
Would it not make more sense for the hardware switch to turn all wireless devices off by default but then allow NetworkManager to turn each device on if required, like an override.
The reason I suggest this is some people will expect that hardware switch to turn off all radio equipment in the device to compily with rules such as those on aircraft.
IMHO of course, take care.

Hi, I have a really bad internal wireless card. If I disable it and try
to use an external PCIMCA card, the network manager will not let me do
this since wireless option is automatically disabled based on the switch
state. I was wondering whether anyone has noted this, since imho this is
a serious issue. Why can't we have a per device control like in windows,
where each network adaptor has its own set of enable/disable controls. A
quick solution to this problem would be I think to revert to Nm 0.6
behaviour, where hardware switch did not affect the software state and
everything worked fine. If anyone has worked on a patch that does this,
please let me know. Thanks, Mikhail
