That is just a stupid concept anyway. Is it? So, if I use the _hardware switch_ on my laptop to kill all internal radios, it shouldn't be enforced by the OS on extra radios I plugged? Or on shitty internal WLAN cards that doesn't tie properly to the mini-pci and mini-pcie hardware kill lines? And any userspace PoS program can decide to bring up such radios that are not hardware-killed even if I am clearly trying to disable them all? -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
