I was wrong. The card won't receive interrupt if the interface is down
since we have disable the device. So the driver does nothing when you
disable the rf_kill switch when the interface is down. But if you do so
and then issue an `ifconfig wlan0 up`, the iwl3945_up() will read the
hardware rf_kill register CSR_GP_CNTRL_REG_FLAG_HW_RF_KILL_SW before
load the ucode and initialize everything. This is both true for 3945 and
4965.

Thanks,
