Could please someone points to the terminal commands to turn off and on
power on the usb8388 and sd8686 modules/cards?
can't be done, on recent releases. well, at least for 1.5 and later
laptops. it may still be operational for XO-1 [1]. our rfkill-based
mechanism was messy, and it was rejected when we attempted to put it
upstream.
the mechanism hasn't yet been replaced -- someday the card should
power down with ifconfig eth0 down.

[1] on XO-1 the commands to try are rfkill block wifi and rfkill
unblock wifi.

If you create multiple interfaces for the hardware it will do the right thing, not powering down the hardware while an interface is active.

Depends on the kernel, but my first guess would be the rfkill command. -- James Cameron http://quozl.linux.org.au/ ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
