WIfi ON OFF by command in AM335x EVM

Balaji Selvam

Hi All,

We have the separate button for Wifi ON/OFF in our custom board. I want to know how to turn OFF the Wifi module
by linux command. Or any other possibilies.

Hi Balaji,

ifconfig -a - this will list all your interfaces (active and non-active)
ifconfig - this will list only your active interfaces
Find the name of the wireless interface (usually wlan0)
ifconfig wlan0 down - disable it
ifconfig wlan0 up - enable it

Best regards,
Miroslav
