The internal wifi adapter cannot be stopped via the network application.

I must admit I don't understand well the wifi commands but I was able to stop
wifi on the console via:
/etc/init.d/networking stop

Doing the same with a "start" command and following it with:

ifconfig wlan0 up

gets it going again.

What would be ideal would be an applet similar to Sharp's that allows multiple
AP configurations and starts and stops the chip gracefully (I don't want it on
if I'm reading a book).  

wifi-radar is an app that seems to perform this function, but won't install due
to dependencies:

So I'm guessing this is for GPE and not OPIE.

Thank You,
