Turning off the radio is the intention. However, oFono is not only to be used with proper modems, but with Bluetooth HFP, SAP, etc, where poweroff might have different meaning. Some hardware supports even more drastic powerdown procedures than simply turning off the radio. > > On a somewhat related note, I don't quite see what to do with > deregister in the netreg driver.

The usefulness of this is of course questionable, like many other areas of the spec. I'm actually willing to drop this from the driver, however there might be some use for this functionality when using manual operator selection.
