Don't know about with wireless, but there are various GUIs for letting
users bring some interfaces up and down, as well as command line tools.
In Gnome, you can edit the main menus, and find "network device control"
in the system tools section.  There's also a modem lights panel applet
that lets you bring ppp up and down from the taskbar.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
I read messages from the public lists.
