Ok, I'm sorted with the BT tray app now from c0rnholio, good bit of kit that does exactly what it says on the tin.
Does anybody know of a tray applet to turn wireless on and off?
I've searched but my search string obviously isn't imaginative enough.

You can try this, and the other one is for bluetooth

I think there is a later/newer version of the bluetooth util there.

Just a warning. I removed wifiIO from my webpage because there is a bug in it which _may_ lead to system freeze. I found that if your device has wireless enabled through wifiIO and after that goes to standby (screen blacks out) this sometimes will result in a 100% cpu usage. So be carefull with this release.
The reason is, that my program directly tells the wlan nic to got to full power without correctly involving the systems power management. I tried to make a power up request to the power management for the wlan nic but it simply does nothing. I will try to fix that in the next release, but don't expect it to be soon.
Cheers

Cornh0lio, I've noticed this and managed to get round it by either turning off wifi before the machine goes into standby or by turning off and turning back on as soon as it comes out of standby. It's still a better 'one-click' solution than going through comm manager.

Anything new on the WiFi toggle app as yet? Seems like an excellent little program once you get the bug sorted.
