The "wifi button" seems to be somwwhat hardware dependent. On my Dell Studio 1745 laptop, which has Intel 'PRO/Wireless 5100AGN Network Connection' card, the turn-off apparently toggles the hardware itself. Once off it stays off until I reboot into windows and reset it. I've tried startuo mode in hotplug, auto, manual, and off but none of them will turn the wifi back on. Also, running rcnetwork restart goes through the motions but doesn't turn it back on. I had a similar problem on my Samsung P-560. Just, I don't have windows ;^>
On my HP DV-3085DX (Product#VM188UA#ABA) the wireless button and GNOME
Network Manager coordinate perfectly. And the wireless resumes from
