the led stays off, even when the modules are loaded. apart from that,
everything is working perfectly. To deactivate your card, just unload
the modules...
In my case, Fn+F5 turn bluetooth on, and the bluetooth led is properly
lit proceeding that way. The modules are loaded via hotplug, but are not
unloaded when using Fn+F5 a second time.
