What would be nice is to be able to toggle background connections on or off easily
Put background connections off from command-line:
Code:
gconftool-2 -s --type boolean /system/osso/connectivity/network_type/restricted_mode true
Code:
gconftool-2 -s --type boolean /system/osso/connectivity/network_type/restricted_mode false
Code:
gconftool -g /system/osso/connectivity/network_type/restricted _mode

The value to this from my perspective would be acting as a workaround to the BT audio issues noted in other threads. According to the Bugzilla entry the performance issues are caused by sporadic WiFi scanning, and disabling WiFi would thus remove the problem.

You can do it yourself easily. It's easy to do from command-line:
Put background connections off from command-line:
Put background connections on:Code:gconftool-2 -s --type boolean /system/osso/connectivity/network_type/restricted_mode true
It's easy to make those into scripts, and creating a desktop entry for them. It's a trivial exercise to even create one script that toggles between the values. The current value can be obtained with this:Code:gconftool-2 -s --type boolean /system/osso/connectivity/network_type/restricted_mode false
These are your moushka tools, happy hacking!Code:gconftool -g /system/osso/connectivity/network_type/restricted _mode
my code is here https://bitbucket.org/jeffrey04/rest...dater_class.py
EDIT: I am thinking on removing the heartbeat thingy (qsystemalignedtimer?) and subscribe to the event where connection is changed, but don't really know how to do it
EDIT: btw, it is actually sort of possible to automatically turn on/off 'allow background connections' using ajalkane's profilematic app

If you figure out how to do it so that it works, please post. I'm afraid it requires poking something with mce, and it may be blocked by aegis. But I don't even know what should be sent to mce.

AFAIK, you can't turn off your WiFi radio, unless you're in flight mode or maybe if you're in power saver. Even though you are not connected to a network, the Nokia N9 searches for available hotspots regularly (I don't know the interval).
To be honest, it's useless to turn off wifi. I've done some testing, and the impact it has on power consumption is shockingly small. Hell, my idle consumption when I'm connected to a wifi network is at 13mA, as opposed to 9mA when not connected.

Anyway, would be nice to disable if possible.

Sounds like Meego OS is missing the REFREESH WiFi button on wirelles settings, is there any posibility of enabling that...
The other question about wifi is, how to reset or enable WiFi connection over 50m distance, like the N97mini i em able to connect to routers up to 400m.

Guys, I see you are looking for a 'Wireless Switch". You can go to the link: http://my-maemo.com/software/applications.php?fldAuto=1229&faq=32 and get this one. I have installed it a few days back and my N900 battery now lasts about 3 to 5 days!
