 Disabling the "Radio" in Sugar's Control panel not only disables an XO's
 internal 802.11 radio, but currently also disables a user's ability to use
 any other networking adapter automatically in Sugar.

 I'm told this was done to workaround some other networking issues for the
 10.1.3 release, and that Sugar/GNOME/NetworkManager's ability to
 coordinate with each other is not the best.

 Users should either leave the "Radio" on, or if power is a concern, other
 adapters (such as USB ethernet devices, etc.) can be manually configured.

 Seen in 10.1.3 os359.  To be documented for 10.1.3, fixed in a future
 release.
