I am not convinced. When mac80211 requests a scan from the driver
checking if rfkill is enabled is the first thing it does and it will
return an error in this case. See iwl_mac_hw_scan().

Maxim, please ensure your driver is compiled with debug support
(CONFIG_IWLWIFI_DEBUG) and load the driver with debug=0x2. We should see
debug messages that will guide us here.
