Toggling both on and off was working for a few days on my eeepc 901 (but blue tooth was disabled as I had left it in BIOS since I don't use it). I notice now that the blue tooth is enabled (at least in the notification area and I was able to my Motorola V3 phone so it works).

When this feature was working the blue radio LED would turn off as well as Wi-Fi. Now Wi-Fi is disabled on reboot but the blue radio LED is on (different from disabling Wi-Fi in BIOS where the LED stays off) so the panic must happen part of the way through the process.

BTW, on my system I do not get the kernel dump to the screen as the attachment at the start of this bug -- just a blinking hyphen in the upper left and a frozen mouse cursor on a black screen. I turned on KMS per https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/KernelModeSetting so perhaps that is the difference.
