- Something on your machine is forcing the radio off.  
- The driver isn't handling the radio off condition during load.

The latter is on our todo list and I just haven't had time to deal with yet.

The former is odd... I haven't seen this before (except for when my RF switch was actually off).

What machine is this and have you seen the problem on any other type of machines?  Does it happen all the time, some of the time?
