You hardkilled. Of course it should bring down everything. If you don't want to hardkill, then disable specific radios via /sys or some UI. The hardswitch is the "eject" button. Other types like pushbutton switches (Fn+F5, HP laptop touchbuttons, etc) that *aren't* hardswitches connected to a GPIO on the wifi device should probably just bring up some window letting you pick what gets rfkilled.
