You're right I guess, that was uncalled for, sorry. Do you really
believe nobody uses Linux? :-)

No, I'm not kidding, I know that I looked this up in the product
documentation when I wrote the patch that Wey-Yi referred to. I didn't
look at the 3945/4965, but the second generation AGN (5000+, 6000+ etc)
hw is supposed to behave that way, and later (1000+ or so?) are supposed
to just have on/off with the radio (by default).

Anyhow, I don't much care what happens to iwlegacy.
