I agree that the interface should be downed if the radio is disabled; however,
I'm concentrating on
getting the state and changes to it logged, and getting the LED to display
correctly. Once this part
is right, then consideration of downing the interface when the radio is
disabled can be undertaken
in bcm43xx-d80211. Softmac will be EOL'd by then.
