I don't believe the keystroke to turn on/off the mini-pci device even functions in FreeBSD on my Dell D600. Is there a trick to getting it to work? I had thought you needed a software piece to receive that keystroke, then do something with it (in which case you could possibly unload the kernel module with that stroke, which I think will stop it from being powered - but I'm not certain on this).
