Somebody in the thread at some point said:
In the same manner as we switch bluetooth, I have asked Werner to write
a patch that will use rfkill to issue the IOCTL to switch the AR6001
into low power / no RF mode.
Does that raise any eyebrows?
Is the wireless kernel driver a binary blob?
No, Openmoko won't have anything to do with in-kernel binary blobs.
There is binary firmware in it in flash though.
Ok, it just sounded like this, because you were talking about ioctl and stuff...
So if you receive a kill event, just send the command that puts the device into
low power state to the device. I think that's perfectly fine.
That's what I figured... Okie Werner, look forward to your patch. Sorry
for the noise.
