The "power control plus" application can do it. So what's the trick?

It probably has 'Write System Settings' permission or maybe even
'Write Secure System Settings' permission.

These are probably very scary sounding permissions to ask for, but a
built in widget never had to ask for them.

Eww. I just read about this. I guess this is a FAQ, but why can the Power Control Widget do this?

I know how to read the GPS status etc. but how do I turn the chip on/off?

You can't. You can bring up the settings screen to let the user turn it on or off, if they want.
