Indeed we had this airplane mode discussion two weeks ago: Why don't we? -----------
To completely silence the radio: #!/bin/bash rmmod usb8xxx mv /lib/firmaware/usb8883.bin /lib/firmaware/usb8883.bin.quiet It will survive reboots. ----------- To bring it back: #!/bin/bash mv /lib/firmaware/usb8883.bin.quiet /lib/firmaware/usb8883.bin rmmod usb8xxx; sleep1; modprobe usb8xxx No reboot necessary. ----------- Tested in build 684, Do I miss something?
