Could be, although netif_stop_queue()/netif_start_queue() is done by
netif_device_detach() and netif_device_attach() respectively.

We should probably shut things down gracefully as well...not nice to

frame. Like I said in the introductory mail, this patch is just a quick
hack to prevent the macb from waking the system prematurely.
