How to disable networking via command line?

Post by Gwar! »

Simple question, how do I send via the command line the command that is sent when I right click the network manager applet in the bottom right of the gnome panel? Both to enable and disable all networking (not just wireless).

I have only 2 devices listed by ifconfig, "lo" and "wlan0"

I have tried:
sudo ifconfig wlan0 down
sudo stop networking
sudo /etc/init.d/networking stop

As well as the respective up/start commands and combinations of all of the above, and none of them do what the right click and deselect do! :cry:

Any help in the matter would be much appreciated!
