I think the scripts will provide multiple killswitches, one for each ipw device found. And once ipwWirelessCtl uses the UDI that's passed to it, it should work fine with multiple killswitches. What other tools like NetworkManager do is another question; right now NM will kill _all_ radios when it detects one that's killed. I don't see any reason to change that right now. If the laptop actually has a physical killswitch, it certainly doesn't have more than one for wifi specifically, so I'm not sure we care about support multiple independent wifi killswitches in NM right now.
