I suppose that OFW could reset the wireless to turn it off and then do 
some chipset configuration hack that would make that USB port 
disappear.  I'm just guessing though; I haven't studied the 5536 manual 
with this possibility in mind.

That seems like a fairly horrible way to solve a Linux problem.

I'm not volunteering to study this possibility right now; I have other 
fish to fry.
