Perhaps not. Error 2 (can be looked up in WinError.h) means
ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND, i.e. the device you specified was not found.
What parameter did you specify as pvDevice? Did you remember to use 1
(POWER_NAME) as the second parameter?

Hmm... wrong name?

I tried each of these calls but none of them worked:
SetDevicePower("NDS1:", POWER_NAME, DevicePowerState.D4);
SetDevicePower("NDS1", POWER_NAME, DevicePowerState.D4);
SetDevicePower("TIACXWLN:", POWER_NAME, DevicePowerState.D4);
SetDevicePower("TIACXWLN", POWER_NAME, DevicePowerState.D4);
SetDevicePower("TIACXWLN1:", POWER_NAME, DevicePowerState.D4);
SetDevicePower("TIACXWLN1", POWER_NAME, DevicePowerState.D4);

and yes POWER_NAME is 0x00000001 (1).

Could you take a look and see if i got the right name (or what it is ;P)
from there? Thanks Alex

According to this post you need the NDIS power driver (NPW):

Unfortuantely I do not have a device with WiFi card around, so I can't test

I have found the complete/correct solution. So simple yet it took me days to
find: DevicePowerNotify() must be called prior to SetDevicePower() for it to
work:
int e1 =
DevicePowerNotify("{98C5250D-C29A-4985-AE5F-AFE5367E5006}\\TIACXWLN1",DevicePowerState.D4, POWER_NAME);
int e2 = SetDevicePower("{98C5250D-C29A-4985-AE5F-AFE5367E5006}\\TIACXWLN1",
POWER_NAME, DevicePowerState.D4);

Both e1 and e2 should return 0's. Thanks Alex, without you pointing out 2
is failure, I would have banged my head on the finding-the-right-name wall

Any luck, Captain Minh?
