Gooood, so at least the major problem has been fixed for you, I sadly have no idea how to get the ipw3945* to recognize your kill-switch. To turn of the wireless, yes, use /etc/init.d/ipw3945d.

I'd report it upstream at http://www.bughost.org/bugzilla/ > To turn of the wireless, yes, use /etc/init.d/ipw3945d. It's better to use `modprobe -r ipw3945` for turning it off and `modprobe ipw3945` to turn it on.
