Now, I've heard of situations where it works the other way (at least if you
tell Windows to turn off the NIC, you can't turn it on in Linux), but never
the Linux driver shutting down the Windows one.  It doesn't happen either
way with my ar928x and ath9k.  What exactly did you have to do to get it to
shut down the Windows driver?  What do you have to do to turn it back on in
Windows?

It is, but I can't help think you're looking at the wrong thing.  I don't
think iwlist caused that.
