On Mac OS X 10.5, you can do this via the Network Preferences suite in the
System Events dictionary.
However, the easier way in Leopard is to do it via "do shell script":
/usr/sbin/networksetup -setairportpower off
In Mac OS X 10.4 server, same command and path.
In Mac OS X 10.4 client, it would be:
/System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/Support/
networksetup -setairportpower off
