Generally spoken: yes, this might be useful.
The problem is: how to implement this portable across distributions (we
are trying pretty hard to get rid of SUSE-dependencies etc right now).
One idea might be to offer a generic "switch-scheme-hook", where users
can hook in special events that happen on a scheme switch...

probably be documented somewhere.
Mark, you can try out with the "debug_events"-script what parameters are
passed on to this event and then create a custom event script that does
switch on / off the wireless card.

Generally yes (i think), we should probably implement the init-like
user-event directory Holger proposed some time ago:

have directories
/usr/lib/powersave/suspend.d/
................./resume.d/
................./schemechange.d/ ?

where a user can put in scripts in a fashion like /etc/init/rc?.d: if
they start with "S??" they will be executed when entering a state, if
they start with "K??" they will be executed when leaving a state. We'd
need to decide how to handle different schemes etc or different suspend
states and stuff, but it would be a generic, useful and easy way to let
users (or third party packages...) just drop a script in there and be
sure that it will be executed before suspend / after resume / during
schemechange.

I'll think a bit more about this as long as i am still on vacation and
so have enough time for it ;-)

Have Fun,
