[Bug 610287] [NEW] [regression] hardware wifi switch kills eth0 as well

Binary package hint: network-manager

This used to work fine on my Asus 1001P netbook until about a month ago.
Since then, whenever I push Fn+F2 switch to disable the wifi (and
conserve power) the eth0 network connection is dropped as well.  It's
then gone from both "sudo ifconfig" and network-manager.  Unticking
"enable wireless" from the network-manager status icon works fine (but I
assume that saves no power).  This must be some kind of regression
recently introduced in lucid.  I'm always at most a few days behind for
the latest packages in lucid.  I had a look around /var/log/syslog, but
did not spot anything unusual around the time the switch was pressed.
