I'm neither a programmer not an electrical engineer, this is only my interpretation of what Erin said.
Bug #1003 can't be closed. The wording of the bug says "GSM is not powered down when Linux is shut down" implies that the kernel is capable of doing this. There are two ways to shut down the GSM modem, the [EMAIL PROTECTED] via gsmd which CAN NOT be brought back up without a complete hardware restart (I'm thinking remove battery for 10 seconds, re-insert) and which can NOT be issued if gsmd is unavailable. The second way to shut down the gsm modem is to remove the battery. In either case, to move from on -> off or vice versa there is a required battery removal.
