Just some more info :

when I power-on this laptop, the wifi led is red.  The wifi led stays
red while in the bios and in grub and during the very start of linux boot.
It becomes blue simultaneously with the displaying of the following message :

	ACPI: Core revision 20100121

(I started 2.6.34-rc5 with boot_delay=1000 to be sure)

When I touch the wifi led, sometimes I can see it flash red and directly
return to blue, but often I do not see this flash : the led simply remains
blue.

What's the use of having a soft blocking system when one also has a 'hard'
blocking system ?  (and actually sometimes there is also a third one,
because NetworkManager has wirelessEnabled=false in his state file)

Just for completeness about bluetooth, you'll find below the output of
lspci -vnn.
