I just use these scripts for (de)activating wwan card (using Eva's Module):

wwan-on:
echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/sony-laptop/wwanpower
echo 1 > /sys/class/rfkill/rfkill2/state

wwan-off:
echo 0 > /sys/class/rfkill/rfkill2/state
echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/sony-laptop/wwanpower

Very important: Battery have to be inside your laptop!!
