you don't need any of those hacks with 3.2.  The wifi "just works".

If you configure the interface it will power up, if you de-configure it it
will power down.

You can also use 'rfkill' to force it to power-down.

The best thing to do is to create
  /etc/udev/rules.d/hso.rules

containing the one line

SUBSYSTEM=="tty", ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="ttyHS*", ATTR{hsotype}=="?*", SYMLINK+="ttyHS_$attr{hsotype}"

and then use
    /dev/ttyHS_Modem

It will be a stable name - a symlink to whichever of ttyHSxx is the 'Modem'
port.

(you might need to reboot or run "udevadm trigger --action=add" the first
time to get the symlinks made).
