Yeah, coming from LFS/Gentoo will make you perfectly capable of disabling stuff
like this.

Doesn't stop it from being set to the wrong one of opt-in/out.

However, with the knowledge of a Gentoo or LFS background, you are probably not
using Ubuntu.

My unofficial poll suggests the the developer types are most likely using
Debian, Slackware or Gentoo, and the network types are most likely using Redhat
or CentOS. Ubuntu never made the list.

> Ah, if only the radio-listening public had as much zeal and oversight

Back in a post 1945 AM frequency shake-up a very popular local
station was moved from something like 800 to 1080khz. There was
uproar from the people who had no idea what that other knob did;
and from those whose tuning mechanism was frozen for all reasons.

Linux on the desktop could give you the same type of problems.
