Ok, so (my hotkey only sends ACPI events) when my script disables the radio
through the file /sys/network/eth1/device/rf_kill, NM will automatically notice
the change AND will update the APPLET too, purging the wireless list and
removing the check near "enable wireless". Or should I use HAL in my script
instead of directly changing the file?
IMPORTANT: note that it is not enough to call the function
"manager_set_wireless_enabled(NMManager *manager, gboolean enabled)" in
nm-manager.c because the applet is not notified at all, so the applet itself
might be the one who checks hal and then executes the disable wireless command
through dbus

All right. I think this would be a very simple implementation, though I don't
know it has been considered yet...
Another question: what should my system have to support rfkill through hal? I
have now hal version 0.5.9-2ubuntu1, but lshal does not show anything about
rfkill
