Bug Description
With network-manager 0.9.4.0 and network-
It appears that when disabling, the rfkill soft block is set on the wireless device. NM then reports the device as hardware disabled (when in fact it is only soft-disabled), causing the menu item to be disabled.
If one manually removes the soft block using `rfkill unblock <ID>`, then it is possible to re-enable wireless from the applet.
The applet should instead show enable the menu option when the device is only soft-blocked, and remove the soft block when the enable option is selected.
