What I meant was that for asus laptops, we have a led device in
/sys/devices/platform/asus-laptop/wlan that in some cases also switch
on/off the device. Since the asus wireless hook updates that file with
the value returned by isAnyWirelessPoweredOn, it always switched the
led off, and in up-mentioned cases also the device.

I will see what happens in my laptop which has a broadcom device, that
does not have any control interface.

Thank you for the fix, anyway I think that drivers must have a common
power interface. I hope this is not an utopia.
Bye!
