It is for me.

It might depend on your sony-laptop module configuration.  I believe
default is auto-detect (read from the hardware switch position), but
that never worked too well for me, so I set it directly to 'stamina':

$ cat /etc/modprobe.d/sony-laptop.conf 
options sony-laptop speed_stamina=0

It does work for me, but I usually rfkill wwan and bluetooth (at least
for bluetooth you can do this with the standard icon on the panel).  For
killing wwan I usually do:

# cd /sys/class/rfkill && for i in *; do echo "`cat $i/name` ($i): `cat
$i/state`"; done
phy0 (rfkill1): 1
sony-wifi (rfkill2): 1
sony-bluetooth (rfkill3): 0
sony-wwan (rfkill4): 1

And then "echo 0 >rfkill4/state" if that's what sony-wwan is under. 

I don't know about the lspci output, but it does show 'ff' for me as
well (I usually only suspend the laptop, so that's what might be causing
it).
