Hi,
The changelog for 1.4.1-15 says:
* Add 17-fix-wireless-hook.patch: Fix typo in wireless hook to make
enabled check actually work. Thanks to Whoopie! (LP: #1299975)
LP #1299975 says:

However, on my laptop with a BCM4360 (wifi), and my desktop with a
Qualcomm Atheros AR8151, both with a 3.16.7-ckt2-1 kernel, the actual
location is in fact "enable".
There seems to be a discrepancy in how these files are named. I have not
yet located the documenation for the canonical way of naming these
files, although the output of `find /sys/devices -name 'enable*'`
suggests that "enable" is the correct spelling, and the few uses of
"enabled" seem to be read-only locations -- ie, for retrieving status,
not changing it.
Regards,
Christian
