Yes, putting the interface down will disable radio.

Turn off athn0

[mabi]

Hello,

I have an Atheros AR9280 miniPCI card acting as a WIFI hotspot on my OpenBSD 
firewall and would like to turn it off during a specific time window of the day.

To turn it completely off (no waves) would a crontab entry using the following 
command be enough?

ifconfig athn0 down

or do I need any other commands in order to switch it completely off?

Regards,
Mabi
