I did some more extensive tests and here are the results:

Intrepid (updated) - after fresh reboot: soft-killswitch works flawlessly, hard-killswitch can only bring WLAN down, not up. After hard-killswitch-off the soft-killswitch wil only control Bluetooth.
Intrepid (updated) - after suspend-to-RAM: same as after reboot. So it is *not* a STR issue.
Intrepid (RC Live CD): same as updated. So it is also *not* an issue with the Dell patch.
Hardy (8.04.1 Live CD): Works as it should do. Soft-killswitch will toggle between four states, hard-killswitch will disable all and is able to get both WLAN and BT back up.

Workaround for now is to not use the hard-killswitch, but that isn't an option in environments where Radio signals are not allowed (airplanes, etc), because after a resume of Suspend to RAM WLAN and BT are both up again, no matter what state it was in when suspending.

I can provide more information, just tell me what to post.

Could someone change the status of this bug ('cause it's greyed out now) and *unmark* it as a duplicate of the Dell bug? I was wrong in my earlier statements and I wasn't aware of not being able to change this later. Sorry for that and thanks in advance.
