Enable/disable device

Great software !
Long time searched something to manage network connections on notebook.  But there are multiple devices (lan, wifi, bluetooth, etc.) and it's not good idea to enable there all at a time.  It will be great by activating profile enable the configured device and disable others.

Yes, this feature is nearly done. It will be available in one of the very next versions.

Re: Enable/disable device

Hello

This feature is very useful to me too. I saw that the v2.5.2 includes a new feature (De-/Activate the selected network adapter)
which seems to be the solution. Unfortunately I can't set it to work... I've two NICs (OnBoard and Wi-Fi) and when activating a profile
binded to the Onboard NIC, the Wi-Fi NIC isn't set to Disable mode. Any idea ?

Re: Enable/disable device

In case somebody else has a similar question, here is the emailed answer:

You can activate or deactivate the network adapter, that is selected in this profile. The other adapters are not affected by that.
If for example your LAN-adapter is deactivated and you want to activate it in a profile then you need to check the adapter checkbox, choose "Activate" in the combobox and activate the profile.

Re: Enable/disable device

Thanks a lot for your soft
Activating a network adapter is great but deactivating the other one would be even better !

For exemple at home on ethernet it would be graet to stop the wifi adapter

Re: Enable/disable device

Found a solution !

With the help of DEVCON http://support.microsoft.com/default.as … US;Q311272
I can do

devcon enable  *NVNET_DEV0057*
devcon disable *VEN_168C*

or the opposite to switch on and of ethernet and wifi !

Re: Enable/disable device

I would like to add my vote for a means to select which adapters are enabled and disabled from within NetsetMan PRO.

Thanks-Bill
