What is the story about GPJ11 then... it seems to be intended to be an
"on switch" like the modem.
I've tried to use GPJ11 as a switch to turn-on/off the WLAN.
It only can be used as power-on trigger. You can't use a pull-up
or pull-high-low transition to
turn off the WLAN device. That's, this module could be turned off
by any external IO operation except cutting its power source. But its
power source is from IO3V3. :(
I've asked Accton about this question, they suggest us to use wmi
to configure the power state of WLAN.

Did we hear from somewhere that the module
ignores it?
Stable-tracking has a patch it that allows control of it by /sys...
