i'm revisiting our ability to kill power to the wireless device for the XO-1.5 laptop. this time around, we're using rfkill to do so. (the XO-1 used a private mechanism.) since there's no dedicated rfkill button, we need to invoke rfkill from a UI.
i was sort of expecting/hoping that NetworkManager could be used to invoke rfkill, since that would be portable, and provide persistence for the setting all at once. but all i can find are lots of ways in which NM reacts to rfkill events, and nothing regarding it actually doing an rfkill block/unblock itself. is this correct? or have i overlooked something? can NM, and the applet, be used as a soft rfkill switch? paul =--------------------- paul fox, [email protected] _______________________________________________ NetworkManager-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
