it sort of makes sense, but in the end there is also no difference here. So if we have a WiFi card that supports RFKILL, we will try to use RFKILL to switch the device off. That way we ensure that all radio activity is actually off. If no RFKILL is available, then the best we can do is to bring the network interface down. So from a ConnMan perspective both are treated the same. My expectation is that all WiFi cards have a RFKILL switch. And that is true for all cfg80211 enabled cards since they have at least a soft RFKILL switch. The important question is what hardware you are talking about. If this is a staging WiFi driver, then this whole situation becomes a bit more fuzzier.
