Is it possible to complete deactivating/activating the wlan module over Terminal or a toggle programm, to be able to save power?

I´m not sure but you can blacklist the Wifi-Kernelmodul (wl1251?)
look at /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

Sorry for my English

This would be a good idea for a simple two stage on/off Qt widget if possible?

It would come in handy for other users as well as OP
