Bug Description
1) Release info
Description: Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS
Release: 12.04
2) Version info
network-
Installed: 0.9.4.1-0ubuntu2
Candidate: 0.9.4.1-0ubuntu2

3) What I expected to happen
When the Network pane in the system setting showed it was ON, I expected rfkill to report soft 1, and when it was off rfkill would report 0.
4) What happened instead
sudo rfkill event
displays
1357708427
1357708427
while the network pane in the system settings shows Wireless is set to ON. In the network icon on the menu bar, top right, wireless status is listed as "Wireless Networks device not ready."
In the network pane, when the ON/OFF toggle is set to OFF, sudo rfkill event then displays
1357708691
In the network pane, when the ON/OFF toggle is set to ON, sudo rfkill event then displays
1357708721
Assuming 0=OFF and 1=ON, rfkill and nm are reporting opposite network connection states.
In all cases, the network icon pulldown menu at the top right reported "Wireless Networks device not ready."
