Well here is my wish:

1) I normally live in non WiFi areas so I will place the wifi module in 
the hotplug blacklist so that upon booting it will not be loaded 
automatically

2) If upon waking I insert those modules if I a not finding them I am 
defeating point 1

3) The WiFi on/on I want only by Fn+F5 explicitely

So I guess I will leave my scripts as they are now and blacklist ath_pci 
(only or also the others like ath_hal etc. ?)

Thank you,
Bob
