    BTW... this Dell (D800) has the ability to turn the wireless hardware
    off. For the bluetooth, this is simple: it's like disconnecting a USB
    dongle. For the mini-pci slot, it appears to power it down. pciconf
    -lv shows the current (non-supported non-ath) card as present when
    wireless is "on" and not present when wireless is "off"

    Is the ath driver able to handle this with any degree of
    gracefullness?

    Dave.
