wireless: T2105: properly support disabled WIFI interfaces

It is not sufficient to only place a wifi interface in adminsitrative down
state as hostapd could change the interface state again. If the wifi interface
is administratively disabled, hostapd or wpa_supplicant should not be started
at all to prevent anyone from messing arround with the admin state.
