I understand your reasoning, but I foresee that the solution will be problematic for the user. Maybe a three state offline mode, for example "hard", "soft" and "off", would be better? In hard state there's no way to enable any of the technologies, but in soft that's possible. Or handle the case you describe above from UI with enabling and disabling technologies. -- Kalle Valo _______________________________________________ connman mailing list [email protected] http://lists.connman.net/listinfo/connman
