These commands are not what a sane user wants to disable and enable
wifi and save power. For FSO-based distros, read FSO_Resources
wikipage, for all others i advice to learn binding/unbinding trick or
just module load/unload.

Hi,


I was able to disable/re-enable wifi with
following lines, I did however not have the time to check the impact on
battery life


# using Atheros wmiconfig command to disable wlan 

./wmiconfig -i eth0 --wlan disable



# To re-enable wlan:

./wmiconfig -i eth0 --wlan enable

# set re-association mode 0 :  do send disassoc when reassociation

./wmiconfig -i eth0 --setreassocmode 0

# now try to reconnect wlan using gui

iwlist eth0 scan 



Cheers,


 Filip.

ill test it
