I had a look a your scripts Dan, I see that the "set" functions are not implemented. I will try to implement them since it is not difficoult, when I have time. Then we might try to propose a patch to hal! What do you think?

If only it was that easy ;) You need to disable your script for Dell laptops, in the fdi, otherwise you end up with 2 levels of rfkill, one at the card level, one at . The shell script should be in C, and probably use the UDI passed to it, instead of looking for the device by hand. Finally, You don't handle values 2 and 3 in the Get. From the ipw2200 README: rf_kill read - 0 = RF kill not enabled (radio on) 1 = SW based RF kill active (radio off) 2 = HW based RF kill active (radio off) 3 = Both HW and SW RF kill active (radio off) write - 0 = If SW based RF kill active, turn the radio back on 1 = If radio is on, activate SW based RF kill NOTE: If you enable the SW based RF kill and then toggle the HW based RF kill from ON -> OFF -> ON, the radio will NOT come back on You can also support the ipw3945 driver with the same settings. I believe that the iwlwifi drivers are also supportable with the same script. Cheers -- Bastien Nocera <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ___________________________________ L'email della prossima generazione?
