That could be very useful. I can also imagine to have it switched off (also bluetooth, and everything), when you're on a flight or train and want to conserve battery -- although that should be possible in any activity). > >> 5) ???? if you have any other ideas > > > > I think getting these pieces right would be wonderful.

It's hard to put it in a general way. Especially dependencies (such as libnm / libmm not being available on top of Qt5 (and their dependencies) might bite you.
