Dear all experts, I am working on implement function key features in gnome-settings-daemon to control wlan/bluetooth/wan. There have some use case need control rfkill by userland applications, some netbook use one function key to control 2 - 3 wifi devices. On windows, it's also implemented by userland application.
Before HAL removed, I enhanced gnome-settings-daemon to control rfkill by call HAL dbus function. But, there have no middleware/daemon can help applications to control rfkill state after HAL removed. Kay kindly give me some idea, and after google this topic, found the following RedHat bug for gnome-bluetooth: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=514798 and http://www.spinics.net/lists/hotplug/msg02464.html At last, RedHat direct add user acls for /dev/rfkill by udev rule. But, looks like a rfkill daemon still need for gnome-bluetooth(bluetoothd). Follow Marcel's comment: the _better_ way is implement a " D-Bus enabled RFKILL daemon that integrates with PolicyKit" I want to develop a rfkill daemon like upower and udisk, to provide D-Bus methods and integrates with PolicyKit, maybe the name is urfkill. Does it a good idea? Appreciate any suggestions for this topic. Thank's a lot!
