Bug Description
I have HP ZBook 15 (1st generation, 2013) with ubuntu-MATE 64-bit; latest updates installed. I am presently using an ethernet cable network so I turn the wireless network off. After each new start or reboot of the machine the wifi radio gets always on and I always have to switch it off manually.
The notebook uses an Intel Corporation Centrino Advanced-N 6235 (rev 24) wireless adapter (I hope this is a hardware version, not a driver one).
I think that the On status by default is not good for several reasons:
- energy consumption is higher
- security may be affected
- more electromagnetic radiation in environment

How are you disabling wireless, with a button/switch on your laptop or by unchecking "Enable Wi-Fi" in the network indicator? linux-firmware isn't the right package for this bug, but until you answer this question I'm not sure which package is the right one. Thanks!
