As far as I can tell Fedora doesn't automatically connect to Wifi
networks it hasn't encountered before. You have to explicitly tell it
to connect. Then, once you have enabled it, it may reconnect
automatically thereafter. So yes, this seems not only legit; it seems
to be reality.
I didn't mean connecting (or not) to wireless networks, but disabling
hardware from normal operation. This is what we are at the moment doing
with touchpads. We are disabling a feature those devices have built-in.
