Feature changed by: Jan Engelhardt (jengelh) Feature #305324, revision 6 Title: Netcontrol does not set up WLAN when kill switch activated openSUSE-11.2: Evaluation Priority Requester: Desirable Projectmanager: Important Requested by: Marius Tomaschewski (mtomaschewski) Description: Provide udev rule to activate / deactivate WLAN interface based on killswitch event --- On my Lenovo ThinkPad T60p, the WLAN hardware kill switch doesn't work as expected. I am _NOT_ using NetworkManager, but the traditional ifup method. The problem seems to be, that the wlan interface is not properly brought up/down when I use the kill switch. --- This wont be fixed for 11.0, because there are different types of killswitch events for different drivers. And it works with NetworkManager. But for 11.1 we should be able to handle it more easily. There will be unified killswitch events. What we need is a additional udev rule that calls ifup for that event.
