ath driver and turning wireless off.

[David Gilbert]

BTW... this Dell (D800) has the ability to turn the wireless hardware
off.  For the bluetooth, this is simple: it's like disconnecting a USB
dongle.  For the mini-pci slot, it appears to power it down.  pciconf
-lv shows the current (non-supported non-ath) card as present when
wireless is "on" and not present when wireless is "off"

Is the ath driver able to handle this with any degree of
gracefullness?

Dave.
