Package: ifupdown
Version: 0.7~alpha5+really0.6.15
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
Hi,
This is a proposal for automatic ifupdown on changing rfkill status.
For this a simple udev rules is used, which calls a wrapper script
getting the network interface name for a specific rfkill device. Then
the wrapper script calls ifupdown with --allow=rfkill for all found
network interfaces.
Adding a "allow-rfkill wlan0" to the interfaces file will result in
fully automatic wlan connect by switching the hardware toggle available
in most modern notebooks.
