[Debian-eeepc-devel] [PATCH] Remove old hacks for wireless toggle key

[Alan Jenkins]

There is no need to load/unload modules and ifconfig up/down the
wireless interface.  PCI hotplug takes care of it.

Tested on 2.6.26-2 (with MadWifi and pciehp.pciehp_force=1)
and 2.6.30-1 (with ath5k and hotplug support in eeepc-laptop)
