[gentoo-user] [OT] Toggling wireless on eee without fn+f2

[Maxim Wexler]

Hi group,

I recall a reference, which I can't find anymore, to a method of
toggling the wireless on/off for a EEE-PC that involved first,
disabling wireless in the BIOS, and then echo'ing a 1 or a 0 to some
file or other. Does anybody know the method I refer to? I can't
remember the file  or the complete command, just that it involves
echo'ing a 1 or 0 somewhere. This was part of a discussion lamenting
the difficulty of getting fn + f2 to work on something other than the
stock Xandros OS.C

I tried 'Code Listing 6.2: Automated WLAN Power Management' in the
gentoo doc, 'Power Management Guide' which says to put
'iwconfig_wlan="power on"' in /etc/conf.d/net without success
