Excuse me folks,
What is the upstream for this, really? Is it Linux? Does it have to do
with rfkill or Network Manager? I'd like to put a bounty on this so I
need to have it upstreamed first.
** Description changed:
- There's some inconsistency in the way that the <Fn>+F5 combination
- works.
+ There are some problems in the way that the <Fn>+F5 combination works in
+ this system (Thinkpad T42).
- For example, sometimes while the led for WiFi is off, the nm-applet
- checkbox for wireless is enabled and vice versa. Clicking on it reverses
- the situation.
+ The following "list" describes the behaviour. Each line is a click of
+ the <Fn>+F5 combination. "W" means Wireless LED is on, "B" means
+ Bluetooth LED is on and "N" means that NetworkManager has Wireless
+ enabled.
- If this is a duplicate than this should be enough explaining and if not,
- I can elaborate further.
+ The starting situation is W,B,N which means that the Wireless and Bluetooth
LEDs are on and that NetworkManager has Wireless enabled (all is ready for
connections). From now on each line represents the status after the hotkey
presses:
+ W, ,
+ W, ,N
+ W,B,
+ W,B,N
+ W, ,
+ W, ,N
+ W,B,
+ W,B,N
+ And so on...
+ So while nm-applet (using nm-applet in KDE because of bug #445164) is
+ running, each click either disables or enables Wireless in
+ NetworkManager. The Wireless LED never turns off. This behavior is
+ confusing but workable.
+
+ Also note that every hotkey press that enables the Wireless on
+ NetworkManager on ("N"), also makes the Wireless LED blink (turn off and
+ immediately back on).
+
+ When I enable wireless through nm-applet's menu after it was disabled
+ via the hotkey, it doesn't succeed to enable it. Under Wireless Network
+ it says "device not ready". However, when it is already enabled, I can
+ disable it and enable it again through nm-applet.
+
+ I hope this helps.
