The wl1271 driver assumes it can control the power of the card. If your card's power is always on, you will not be able to toggle the interface down and up (as you have experienced). It might be possible to change the driver around this "limitation", but I'm not sure anyone has ever really tried. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
