The problem with this flag is that it is set from ieee80211_init_client() function, which is removed in next patch and it isn't clear when it should be set to 1. By trying to figure this out, I realized that it is completely unused. Ok, it is probably useful. Let's rename it to something more obvious (RADIO_ENABLED? ADM_RFKILL?). But I think it shouldn't be re-enabled by the kernel automatically when station interface is added/brought up.
