The Wiki, especially the section about LIPC, is your friend here.

The "Interesting handlers / actions" contains information about how to peek and poke around LIPC.

I merely fetched the output from "lipc-probe -a -v", took a look at it, applied a bit of common sense, and after 5 minutes of trial-and-error arrived at the commands below.

For this particular case:

Code:

# disable WiFi
lipc-set-prop com.lab126.cmd wirelessEnable 0

#enable WiFi
lipc-set-prop com.lab126.cmd wirelessEnable 1

It works for me (though I haven't tested what it does if no Wifi connections are specified, or available, etc.)

If you find this useful, and/or if you find out more about how exactly it behaves, you're more than welcome to add this information to the Wiki as well.
