I just tested it with
Linux mediondt 2.6.34-999-generic #201003311145 SMP Wed Mar 31 11:40:45 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux kernerarchive
from the mainline Ubuntu-
0: hci0: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
1: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: yes
Should I do further tests to show that this failure exists in the newer kernels?
