Bug Description
I needed to set network manager to avoid managing a given wireless interface, so that I can set it up with static IP + dhcpd + hostapd. When I disable Wireless the phy rfkill associated to it gets "softblocked" on boot, so I need to manually "rfkill unblock phy" and ifup, restart all services for the setup to work.
When wifi is set to "Enable Wifi" it all works correctly. My guess is that network-manager rfkill even unmanaged devices when wifi is disabled, but I have not checked the source code.
