Comment 111 for bug 211631

"NM 0.8 does not bring down ethernet connections on exit anymore. I don't think we will be able to something similar for wifi soon. Is that good enough for this bug?"

No. I have a use case of wanting to pack up my laptop up quickly after using wireless at a client's office where I have to mount a remote Windows filesystem using Samba. Having your laptop not suspend or shutdown (or do it such a bad way it's not funny) isn't very good for my system or for desktop linux (picture a Windows using client interested in desktop linux and watching a laptop doing this shutdown dance).

What's the reason for not being able to keep wireless up until after network filesystems are unmounted ?
