    [2008] API and WiFi

    Does anyone know if there is a way I can programatically turn on/off WiFi so that I can interupt my internet connection, perhaps using an API?

    You can probably use WMI to disable the NIC:

    By executing the DevCon.exe command line tool provided my microsoft, with the vb6's Shell() method, you can disable/enable any kind of device. It will does the same effect like if you go into the computer hardware list, right click on a device and selecting disable/ or enable from the popup menu.
