That's coming along nicely > though, it appears. Dell systems can use dellWirelessCtl -> userspace binary to control wireless kill switch. This binary is in libsmbios-bins, currently in Fedora 7 and Fedora Extras for FC6. David Zeuthen recently committed support into HAL to interface with dellWirelessCtl, so Dell laptops should soon work ok. Contact David if you have a Dell laptop of recent vintage (dellWirelessCtl -i to see if it works on your box) and it doesnt 'just work'. -- Michael -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
