Does anyone know how or have a link to a utility that will turn off the WiFi card while it is in the PPC?

I've never seen anything that will do that beyond the OEM software that comes with the WiFi cards. I don't even remember reading anyone post that their card has the option on the PPC.

My Orinoco drivers on the laptop allow me to turn the radio off (click the try icon and radio off is an opton), but the drivers for the same card in WinCE don't. How dumb.

...a card that can use the Intersil drivers then that option, ie. turn off the radio, is also available. I have never used that feature however...I simply remove the card, a D-Link DCF-650W, and sleeve from my 3835...
