the real problem is that NM does not update the wireless status in the applet even when its command to disable wireless is used the command is:
dbus-send --system --type=method_call --dest=org.freedesktop.NetworkManager /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.setWirelessEnabled boolean:false this command is a dbus one and it is offered by network manager, so the applet must not ignore it! ----- Messaggio originale ----- Da: Ritesh Khadgaray <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> A: Bastien Nocera <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: network manager <[email protected]> Inviato: Venerdì 25 maggio 2007, 21:58:19 Oggetto: Re: blocking bug for laptop users ( rfkill on dell laptop ) On Fri, 2007-05-25 at 16:21 +0100, Bastien Nocera wrote: > On Fri, 2007-05-25 at 15:21 +0530, Ritesh Khadgaray wrote: > <snip> > > Is this supposed to send a dbus message ? > > The only thing i was able to see is bluez hardware removed, and thats > > all :( > > > > I use a Dell D620 , with rkill switch mapped against bluetooth, and > > wireless . > > Which is what's supposed to happen for Bluetooth on Dells. > > The API is explained in the HAL spec. Sorry, i was unable to locate this at the urls posted below http://people.freedesktop.org/~david/hal-spec/hal-spec.html http://people.redhat.com/davidz/hal-spec/hal-spec.html > > It's mainly useful to deactivate a Bluetooth or WLAN device in software, > not really to see what a possible rfkill switch in hardware does... > I was able to see that with rfkill, NM is waiting for hal have this fixed . reference : http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0612.0/2060.html I am able to see /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/dell_wlan_switch path in hal listing . The value of this does not change with rfkill switch state. i do see hal not listing my wireless card when rfkill switch is "off", but NM still list wireless under menu. This behaviour was not seen when i had used a pcmcia wireless card ( ornico ) . -- Ritesh Khadgaray ॐ मणि पद्मे हूँ LinuX N Stuff Ph: +919970164885 Eat Right, Exercise, Die Anyway. _______________________________________________ NetworkManager-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list ___________________________________ L'email della prossima generazione?
