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)?
