This should have been fixed in 12.04 with the addition of rfkill-store
and rfkill-restore jobs in /etc/init. Can you confirm whether this
actually solves the issue you were facing, with a 12.04 live CD ?

Title:
Radio kill function key needs to remember and honor the state from
last shutdown
Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
If all radio (WiFi, Bluetooth, etc.) were disabled using Fn+<key>
combination at the time of last shutdown, a subsequent restart
correctly renders all the radios in switched off state: WiFi is
disabled, Bluetooth and WiFi UI shows them as disabled. 'ifconfig'
does not show WLAN entry. However, pressing the same key combination
in expectation of enabling the radios does not enable. Only after
pressing the key combination for the second time enables radios. It
appears as if at the time of the first press after a reboot, the state
is assumed to be enabled.
Also, upon reboot with radios disabled and before they are enabled
again, external Bluetooth devices are found to be working fine with
the PC! Pointer for a Bluetooth mouse moves and clicks happen.
