Using WiFi101 shield in low power mode about wifi101 HOT 4 CLOSED

To shutdown WINC you have to put high chipen pin.
Beware to completely reinit wifi lib after doing that (it does a specific power up sequence with chipen and resetn)

Hello,
Is there a possibility to switch off the WiFi101 shield in software? For example:
digitalWrite(5, LOW); - reduces the power consumption significantly (90%) After that I execute
WiFiinit();
WiFibegin(_ssid, _pass);
The WiFi connection is established But:
WiFiClient client = WiFiClient();
clientconnect(host, port); - is not working

Maybe there is another possibility to switch off the WiFi101 shield in software?
Thank you very much and best regards, Walter

WiFi.init();
WiFi.begin(_ssid, _pass); -> the wifi connection is there.
Problem: client.connect(host, port); - is not working.
