Yeah I gathered that from the name ;-)  But WLAN with RF down is a
chocolate teapot, we don't have Monitor and you can't ACK.  So it's OK
to overload it as meaning "take WLAN down".

I'm pretty sure asking it at high level and leaving it up is the way to
try first, either Atheros guys direct or via Matt told this.
