> The brcm80211 driver does not correctly handle the case that the wireless
> radio hardware is physically disabled during interface initialization. An
> attempt is made to check whether the radio is disabled, and in the case
> that it is, a background worker is setup to monitor for the radio coming
> online, but the interface queues are incorrectly brought up anyway. The
> value BCME_RADIOOFF should be returned in wlc_up in such error case.
