Sorry, bad phrasing.  The wireless adapter itself goes back to working after 
reboot, but because NetworkManager ignores that NM was disabled by the rfkill 
being pressed and just assumes it's globally disabled, the result (to an end 
user who doesn't know to use ifup) is like it stays disabled across reboots.
