Re: How to turn Airport and Bluetooth on and off
For bluetooth:
Code:
sudo /etc/init.d/bluetooth start
or
Code:
sudo /etc/init.d/bluetooth stop
seems to work for me.
For wireless, right click on the NetworkManager applet and check box 'Enable Wireless'.

Apple have made these entirely software-controlled, without ugly (but useful) hardware switches to turn them on and off.
Has anybody worked out how to do this? It would be incredibly useful!
