** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: hal
  
  Dell machines with a bluetooth/wlan killswitch using hal version 0.5.9.1
  need /usr/bin/dellWirelessCtl, otherwise, when using network-manager,
  logs are filled with this line every 6 seconds:
  
  NetworkManager: <info>  Error getting killswitch power:
  org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.KillSwitch.NotSupported - Access type not
  supported
  
  A workaround is to manually do the following:
  
- [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ aptitude install libsmbios-bin
+ [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo aptitude install libsmbios-bin
  [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo ln -s /usr/sbin/dellWirelessCtl 
/usr/bin/dellWirelessCtl
  [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo modprobe dcdbas
