| Hello,
|
| How can I disable WiFi at PowerOn?
| It´s not nice to manually disable it after all Reboot.

I was staring at this code the other day... we just force it up during
machine init.  It's expensive too, 300ms or so wasted on it blocking
startup and the power is subsequently always getting used.

I will push it into its own powermanagement /sys file like we do bt and
gps for example, but this will break userspace until they start using
the /sys.  Still one the dust settles that will be much more sane.
