By turning off Wifi adapter means by turning off the radio ofcourse.

Unfortunately, a standard OID for this still does not seem to exist.
So, every OEM uses proprietary controls.
You can also disable the adapter using SetupDi API.

You can use IOCTL_NDIS_UNBIND_ADAPTER.

IOCTL_NDIS_UNBIND_ADAPTER is a Platform builder command.

Is there a way to turn 802.11 on and off at the application programing level
or do you need to use the lower level commands and tools?

I would be intersed in something that is part of the SDK's that are part of
visual studio?

Thanks

I remember looking into this about 7 months ago and I came to the conclusion
that this would need to be done at a lower level.
