Re: Network drivers that don't suspend on interface down

It's also complicated because some switches are supposed to rfkill both
an 802.11 module _and_ a bluetooth module at the same time, or I guess
some laptops may even have one rfkill switch for each wireless device.

On my Dell D820, it's bios-selectable if the switch is enabled, or if
it controls just the 802.11 card, or 802.11 and bluetooth, or just bluetooth,
or 802.11 and mobile broadband, or ...

This way lies madness. :)

(Oddest part - said bios config screen offers the choices for bluetooth
and mobile broadband even though the hardware config doesn't include it. ;)
