Hi there,
I’m wondering if there is permanent way to disable Wi-Fi radio emissions on Meteobridge RPI platform. I prefer Ethernet only. My RF meter shows WLAN activity even though Wi-Fi connection is not activated from network menu. I’m currently using ifconfig wlan down command. However it is not permanent after reboot or power outage. Any ideas?

in the directory /etc/crontabs there is a file named "root" which contains the usual crontab entries.
I would try adding the following line either at the start or the end of the file
Thanks Gyvate! I’ve edited mentioned root file adding new crontab and noticed that it is cleaned/reverted to original file after reboot.
My guess is the only way to permanently implement WLAN DOWN is sort of rfkill switch embedded in user menu (or fixed initial setting)?
New feature request?
MB PRO is just acting as a WLAN client (unless otherwise configured) and by that I can't see a security threat or adding any measurable amount of WiFi traffic. Meteobridge needs WiFi enabled to search for available WLANs in case you want to select one on "Network" tab.
Therefore, I do not want to invent another switch that adds complexity without a real benefit.
