  No.

  none1 at pci0:3:0:0:	class=0x020000 card=0x058a1014 chip=0x1014168c 
rev=0x01 hdr=0x00
     vendor     = 'Atheros Communications Inc.'
     device     = 'AR5212 Atheros AR5212 802.11abg wireless'
     class      = network
     subclass   = ethernet
     cap 01[40] = powerspec 2  supports D0 D3  current D0
     cap 05[50] = MSI supports 1 message
     cap 10[60] = PCI-Express 1 legacy endpoint
     cap 11[90] = MSI-X supports 1 message in map 0x10

As you see, even in case without driver,
it's power status is D0 and the device is hot.
Setting hw.....nodriver=3 has no effect.
I think I need to write D3 by hand.
