I'm not actually sure just what you mean by removing the wifi driver,
but I just now tried moving the iwlwifi firmware out of /lib/firmware,
then booted 5.6.4 as before (with "ignore_loglevel initcall_debug" and
with the CDROM still detached), and of course there was now no wireless
interface.  I started X, Emacs, Firefox (of course with no internet),
VLC, used them a bit then closed them all, then called `shutdown -h now'
and the message output was essentially identical to what I posted
previously (but of course without "iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: shutdown") and
the machine did not power off.  So if this was the test of removing the
wifi driver, then it made no difference.
