The airo driver use 'txpower' for that. txpower has a 'off'
option, and with the airo driver this disable the whole MAC, leaving
the interface up (and 'on' revert back).
Also note that at your request I defined 'relative' txpower,
i.e. txpower which are not in mW or dBm, because you needed that for
the Prism2 devices.
Have fun...
