Enjoy (some half-hour I wasted :p. Yes, dbus ain't my strong point): Normal: /usr/bin/dbus-send --system --type=signal /com/nokia/mce/signal com.nokia.mce.signal.sig_device_mode_ind string:"normal"
Flight: /usr/bin/dbus-send --system --type=signal /com/nokia/mce/signal com.nokia.mce.signal.sig_device_mode_ind string:"flight" Either make the python app exec the command above or make python do it nativly (dbus module exists in python and quite a few maemo python apps that use dbus for example) On Thu, Jun 19, 2008 at 7:58 AM, George Nachman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi maemo-developers, > > Is it possible on the N800 to programatically shut down the wifi > interface and bring it back up? > > I have an application that very occasionally needs network > connectivity.
