This is a welcome change. Well, mostly.. Is there any way to _un_load
the firmware? Being unable to turn the radio off is pretty wasteful of
battery power, and therefore pretty annoying for me.
That is, unless I'm totally off-base here. I assume that
$ iwictl iwi0 -r
Radio is ON
means that the wireless card is using power.
