Bug Description
hello! I'm using a ipw2200 card in an asus laptop and I noticed that acpi scripts currently use power/state file to switch off the card. Since this behaviour cause lots of problems if the module gets unloaded when power/state is set to 2 (disabled) and since the official documentation doesn't say anything about power/state file I think that rf_kill should be used instead.
you can find this file in /sys/bus/
1 means card off, 0 card on

well... there's a more simple way to find it, and wireless.sh can easily be changed to chech the presence of rf_kill and if it doesn't find it goes back to the older power/state!
