Comment(by martin.langhoff):

 What we could do in olpc-session is something along the lines of

 {{{
    # in the non-sugar-desktop block
    if [ -e /home/olpc/.rfkillfile ]; then
        # unblock via rfkill but make sure we tell nm to keep it off
        rfkill unblock wifi
        # we shouldn't actually use cnetworkmanager
        # use dbus-send instead
        cnetworkmanager -w 0
    fi
 }}}
