I'm still not convinced that this should be covered by a udev rule in bluez; seems to me like this will conflict with the killswitch states for the device, which appear to me as more important to preserve in all cases. (For instance, booting your computer in a plane shouldn't cause the udev rule to trigger and radio to be turned on despite the killswitch state being off, and it's unclear yet how this reacts). The patch looks technically correct and seems like it will do the right thing, but it seems a little dangerous to assume the radio should just be turned on (and that's the driver's job anyway)

May I suggest fixing this at the linux kernel driver level instead? I'll open a linux task in case.
