I made a small bat file, and then put two shortcuts on the desktop, in the
bottom right, so they look like they're in the systray ;-)

<http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;311272> provides
an executable called DevCon for Device Control.

		devcon status * > all_devices.txt
will give a text file with all of the devices and the current status.
Find the name of your WiFi card there...  Mine is an SMC2435W.

	PCI\VEN_104C&DEV_8400&SUBSYS_8402104C&REV_00\5&2509CBFA&0&0051F0
	    Name: SMC2435W 22 Mbps Wireless Cardbus Adapter

		devcon status "PCI\VEN_104C&DEV_8400*"
ensure that this shows only the status from the one device that you want to
affect. (It's interesting what shows up under the same "VEN_" number.)

I made a batch file with one line:
		devcon %1 "PCI\VEN_104C&DEV_8400*"

then I put two shortcuts to the bat file on my desktop, adjusting the
properties so that one has a "target" of the bat file enable, and another
shortcut for disable.  
	"C:\downloads\DevCon\2435.bat" enable 
I even picked clever icons for the two shortcuts ;-)
