Does suspend turn off wireless card?

[allaboutsam]

Does anyone know if suspend actually turns off the wireless card (i.e., powers it down, stops it from broadcasting)? Or does it just disconnect from the network?

I am using Intrepid on a Dell Latitude D400 with a Broadcom card and the b43-pci-bridge driver.

Many thanks,

I think it does but I made sure it didnt cause connecting is a pain in the neck.

isnt the card left on to enable wakeonlan?

Thanks, everyone.

The D400 has Wake-on-LAN, but I have it disabled in my BIOS. Assuming djurny is right, would the OS recognize that I have Wake-on-LAN disabled and thus turn off the card on suspend?

wake-on-lan is not wireless, lan is ethernet.

Good point. Thanks again.
