Using WiFi switch as silence button

To the best of my knowledge, the wi-fi is not changeable by software while in the off position. When it is on, you can use software to turn wi-fi on or off. However, in the off position, you cannot use software to turn the wi-fi back on.

If it is possible, I would say that no2chem would be the best candidate to figure it out.

I believe the wifi switch is physically wired for wifi, but it may be possible to piggyback on the status signal sent to the OS (on/off) to change the volume. However wifi on all the time would kill a battery, so stroths input would help with this.
