Calling "/etc/rc.d/net-autowireless stop" does not stop correctly because netcfg-wpa_actiond returns an error code not equal to zero:

- the kill line is superfluous because the "kill" command is already done in "stop_wpa" (/usr/lib/network/8021x). This "stop_wpa" function already removes the pid file. Since there is no check if the pid file still exists, kill throws an error
- I have set the RFKILL variable to "hard" for my interface because I have a hard switch :-) Unfortuneatly /usr/lib/network/rfkill returns error code 1 if this variable is set to "hard". I suggest to not calling rfkill for hard switche becaue it is not necessary

A suggested patch is attached.
Thank you!

The second issue is a duplicate of  FS#25514 .

And the PID file is supposed to be the PID for wpa_actiond, which is not the PID of wpa_supplicant.
