Not more and not less.

from the ipw3945 manual:
0 = RF kill not enabled (radio on)
1 = SW based RF kill active (radio off)
2 = HW based RF kill active (radio off)
3 = Both HW and SW RF kill active (radio off)
If ipw3945 is loaded while the HW switch is active the interface will
not even be created. Hence no rf_kill in /sys/class/net/.

Bluetooth is disconnected from usb when activating the HW switch. The
switch does not change the acpi state of bluetooth.
