Arch won't let me Power off Wireless

There's a button on my laptop ( hp nc6000)that turns off the wireless and bluetooth hardware--but Arch won't let me. When I press the button, the indicator light just starts flickering for a few seconds and then goes back to shining with a steady blue light as if the wireless was still on. But I lose connection with my wireless AP. It's not a hardware malfunction; I've tried with a live CD and there things work as they should. Also, it worked with Arch the first couple of days after installation. I thought maybe the ifplugd daemon I installed had something to do with it, but no.

So the problem is that I Arch won't let me power off my wireless hardware. Does anyone have any idea where I should start looking?

[Edit: The indicator light won't flicker, but shine steadily for a few seconds, then blink, shine steadily, blink, shine....]
