Turning iPaq Wireless On/Off

Disclaimer: I've only tested this on the iPaq 5450 with PocketPC 2003. It should work for most other models, but I can not know for sure.

I've been looking for a way to turn my iPaq's wireless adapter on and off in managed code.

The first choice was to PInoke the 'SetDevicePower' function with the ID of my adapter, (the ID is found in the registry).


The other (Slightly more simpler) is to use the  'iPAQSetWLANRadio' function in the iPaqUtil.dll. This isn't useful if you want to deploy to other kinds of devices though.
