In some countries, it is prohibited to use WiFi without a government certification. The countries include Japan, we are distributing Yun after applying a small patch to disable WiFi function.

Currently, we can disable the WiFi interface (wlan0) using LuCi web interface. However, this causes your daemon (wifi-live-or-reset) to reset the Linux.

Additionally, this configuration should be retained after "reset-to-factory-anyway" by pressing the WiFi Reset button more than 30 seconds.

You may want to see my patching script.

Such WiFi disabling capability may be useful also in countries that is not prohibited.

That's something we should add on the product page and in the store product page so people know in advance and can correct.

Thank you. This newer version of the patching sketch runs standalone with no need of the internet connection to get an actual patch shell script on GitHub Gist.
