Comment(by erikos):

 The control panel uses the sleep and wake methods of the NM to set the
 devices eth0 and the mesh one down. The power off then is part of the
 driver as i understand (i do not this functionality is there yet). We
 could use iwconfig to turn radiation off but from Quozl's note I gather
 that the iwconfig txpower off command do not work since the NetworkManager
 put back things.

 So i guess this might be an issue in the NetworkManager?
