Seems sensible. Any pointers? I wouldn't know how to do it (and actually, right now I am busy working on rfkill for some stuff thinkpad-acpi needs), but I could try to tack bay after rfkill, if nobody beats me to it (hint!) BTW: dock handling might share these issues as well. The problem has a bit of a hard edge, though: if nobody binds to an ACPI node that has an EJ0 subnode, bay needs to do it. But if someone wants to, bay should give the node up, and somehow help that someone handle the ejection stuff. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
