Hello,

I'm looking for a software that could automatically turn Wifi On/off when needed

For instance, Wifi is off and I start Opera ... then this SW will detect the request for an internet connection and will activate automatically WiFi.
When leaving opera, it should close de Wifi connection

At program launch of any program requiring an internet connection (Opera, Mail, Skype, Goople maps, ...)

1) If WiFI is already on ... then nothing special to do
2) If Wifi is off, ask user if Wifi should be enabled ?
3) If yes, enable Wifi .. else nothing to do

At program exit

1) If WiFI is off ... then nothing special to do
2) If Wifi is on , ask user if Wifi should be disabled ?
3) If yes, disable Wifi .. else nothing to do

Is such this existing ?

Thanks

I was using Wireless time for that, but only works configuring time zones, and inhabilites the posibility of being wifi activated manually.
It wil be interesting a program that switch wifi on or off depending on the programs you are using.

Interesting, this could work with 99% the same logic and code I am using for WMLongLife (dev build, not released app)... just instead of 3G do Wi-Fi. I may consider making a modified version for this purpose.
