Enable/disable Wifi from command line

[sddroog]

Hi,

Is there a way to enable/disable Wifi and/or Bluetooth from the command line, instead of using the connection manager (Fn-F5)?

Thanks!

The answer is yes, but you might have to install linux:

Assuming that wlan is rfkill0 (check /sys/class/rfkill/rfkill0/name):

Code: Select all

echo 0 > /sys/class/rfkill/rfkill0/state
echo 1 > /sys/class/rfkill/rfkill0/state

Bluetooth and wwan:

Code: Select all

echo enable > /proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth
echo disable > /proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth
echo enable > /proc/acpi/ibm/wan
echo disable > /proc/acpi/ibm/wan

Thanks! However, installing linux was not what I had in mind...

Any solution for Windows (Vista)?
