Turn Off Wifi via config.txt
-
Its there a boot command to turn wifi off via config.txt? I know you can turn bluetooth off with "dtoverlay=pi3-disable-bt", Wondering if there is a similar for wifi. I want to be able to turn it off by setting it on the config.txt because I have Retropie menu hidden, and want to reserve all power for gaming, but still be able to easily turn it on if/when needed.

It's not specifically via config.txt - but blacklisting the driver should suffice.

If you have a Pi 3, you can disable these devices by adding the following lines to your config.txt
dtoverlay=pi3-disable-wifi
dtoverlay=pi3-disable-bt
