How do I tell Lion to disable the LCD screen even when the lid is open?

Hello,


A known issue with MacBook Pro's is that the WiFi reception is poor when running in clamshell mode. A workaround for this issue when using an external monitor only has been to close the MacBook, wake it with a USB device and monitor attached, and then re-open the lid.


Unfortunately, this doesn't work in OS X Lion. That's because as soon as you open the lid, Lion re-detects all the displays and re-enables the LCD monitor. I'm sure in some circumstance, that's very helpful. But not in mine.


Does anybody know of a way to keep Lion from re-enabling the monitor whenever the lid is opened?


Thanks!

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7)
