The hardware does not have such a bit. Once it is initialized and mac80211 sends it a packet, it will try to send it. That is true even if the hardware switch is off. It just will not succeed. > If the hardware "soft switch" bit is write-only, you have no choice but to > use the mac80211 value like your V2 patch does, BTW. Since we have only a read-only hardware switch bit, I think you are saying that V2 is correct.
