Oops, I made a cut & paste error and forgot 'echo 1 > $wlan_control'
in my last post, sorry!

This would be correct:

case $1 in
    on|enable)
        if [ $(cat $wlan_control) = 0 ]; then
            modprobe -r pciehp
            modprobe pciehp pciehp_force=1 pciehp_slot_with_bus=1
            echo 1 > $wlan_control
#            detect_wlan
#           modprobe $WLAN_MOD
            # adding a sleep here, due to some bug the driver loading
is not atomic here # and could cause ifconfig to fail
#           sleep 1
#           if ! ifconfig $WLAN_IF up; then exec $0 off; fi
        fi
        ;;
