Ah, ok. NetworkManager is supposed to be able to deal with rfkill, too (might need bleeding edge for that). I don't have a clue on how well it does that, though. > This is currently only possible for the bluetooth in gnome, but > not for my laptop's builtin WWAN and WLAN. Heh, already got some side comments about gnome interfering with bluetooth rfkill from an user :-p > My program allows exactely that, and uses either DBus/HAL interface > of /dev/rfkill. Just keep in mind that /dev/rfkill manipulates radios of a given _type_ as a group, and that an user could have many radios of the same type, and want to manipulate just one. Also, touching any rfkill line _can_ cause hotplug and hotunplug of devices. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them. One disk to bring them all and in the darkness grind them.
