[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1785921, member: 110816"] The commands you use will vary slightly between Ethernet and WiFi. The command [CODE] sudo ifconfig en0 down [/CODE] Will take down the interface regardless of it being Ethernet or WiFi. You would bring it back up by replacing the [B]down[/B] with [B]up.[/B] If you are using WiFi, you can use another command to turn off the power to the WiFi as well with the command [CODE] networksetup -setairportpower en0 off [/CODE] To enable the power, you would replace [B]off [/B]with [B]on[/B].
