Rich,

Just throwing this out there... 

Wouldn't this assume it is the responsibility of the wireless driver to take 
down the wired driver? 

I would never assume that, as in some instances, both interfaces should be up. 

The only things that should be controlling wether the wired driver is up is A) 
the management software, or B) the driver for the device being brought up or 
down. There may be a C or later, but it wouldn't be the driver for a different 
interface. 

As I understand it, the network management software should, on transition from 
signal to no-signal (i.e. the cable is unplugged) should take the interface 
down, and it should remain down until another transition. 

My point is that looking for the wireless driver to do something with the wired 
driver is looking in the wrong location.
