Bug Description

In the last Ubuntu version prior to Intrepid Ibex my laptop (Thinkpad T40p) would always remember, wether its internal bluetooth/wlan cards had been activated or not when I last used the computer. Since upgrading to intrepid ibex the bluetooth/wlan is always turned on after starting the computer. Doesn't matter if I deactivate them (right-click on the network manager top-right of the screen) - next time when I reboot, the two of them are turned on again.
Besides being annoying: could this also be a security issue (risking autmatic unwanted wlan-connectivity with unprotected networks?)

Bluetooth is always activated after I come back from standby. I have to turn it off each time with Fn+F5 on my T42.

Similar problem here. Hardy was working good. Intrepid forgets the bluetooth/wifi power settings. When I startup the system, bluetooth and wifi always on by default.

Why is this Invalid? It still happens. Is this fixed in the next release?
