While there are developers available to do this kind of work, you need to get someone to agree to "babysit" the code." I think it is more like the responsibility for someone from Realtek or surely someone with wireless expertise. For this case, I would like it better to enable the hardware for debian and its downstream users and update the package every time Realtek drops a new version.

Perhaps the > description could be updated to make this clear. > thanks, > kk > "rfkill" package in the archive is just a simple utility for switch on/off the RF device. urfkill handles the hotkeys (KEY_WLAN, KEY_BLUETOOTH, KEY_RFKILL, etc) and can be configurable to behave differently on the key pressed. Say, one may like the bluetooth to be switched off too on KEY_WLAN, whereas in fact KEY_WLAN is for Wifi only, at least literally. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

It is just a tool to enable/disable a wireless device as specify in the argument. "urfkill" is a way to manage and toggle these devices based on the conf file. The immediate problem is that when KEY_WLAN is commonly generated by the key press, should bluetooth and 3G be turned off too where there are in fact keycodes dedicated for each: KEY_BLUETOOTH, KEY_WWAN. Also as a planned function (but not yet implemented in the code now) of urfkill, people desire to turn off wifi on the first pressing, bluetooth on the second and so on... This is only possible if there is a dedicated daemon for handling this. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
