Package: wicd-kde
Version: 0.3.1-1
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream patch
Dear Maintainer,
I have installed Debian on my sister's laptop, and I've installed wicd
to manage the network.
Yesterday she wrote to me that the laptop could not connect to the wifi while
her phone could. I understood the problem was that the interface was
deactivated but on her laptop there is no Fn+something combination to
enable it again. I have no clue on how it got disabled in the first place.
Eventually I wrote a script for her that enables/disables the interface,
using dbus+wicd.
But with this widget alone, without using the terminal, it is not possible
to do this.
I've set an high severity because the problem caused my sister to be unable
to connect without assistance.
I made a patch, that should be forwarded to upstream, that adds a menu entry
to enable and disable the wireless network interface.
I hope this will be accepted.
Best regards

Description: Create menu entry for rfkill
This is needed because if for some reason the card is disabled, there
is no way of enabling it again on some laptops that lack a functioning
Fn key combination for this.
