Cubietruck - how to disable WIFI and Bluetooth completely ?
I have Armbian_4.5_Cubietruck_Debian_jessie_3.4.109 running from NAND on my Cubietruck.
Boot, reboot and shutdown are very slow. I assume that this is caused by this bug:
As I do not need WIFI and Bluetooth ...
Is it possible to remove WIFI and Bluetooth completely? How?
Would that help with the mentioned problem?
Is it ensured, that the WIFI and Bluetooth hardware modules are shutoff / power save when disabled?
P.S.: great work Igor
On mainline kernel you need to blacklist modules that are loading without entry in /etc/modules.
Create file /etc/modprobe.d/wireless-blacklist.conf and put this in it to disable Wi-Fi:
blacklist brcmfmac
blacklist brcmutil
And you still need to comment rfcomm line in /etc/modules to disable bluetooth
