According to http://mail.gnome.org/archives/networkmanager-list/2010-February/msg00189.html For NM 0.8, yes, as long as your driver is correctly implemented. NM will get the uevents from udev and do the right thing without any extra effort on your part. For NM 0.7, HAL is still used for rfkill and NM polls the HAL objects periodically for rfkill status. So if you're still using NM 0.7 in these builds, you may also need to make a few "callout" scripts that check the value of /sys/class/rfkill/rfkill0/state in response to the HAL callout. Current gNewSense metad on mipsel uses 0.7 network-manager, so it looks like maybe we need to add the callout scripts. Squeeze uses 0.8, so testing that with recent rtl8187b wifi drivers so we can report a bug to Wu / Linux developers / loongson-dev if it doesn't work would be good; cc:ing Bernie since he has squeeze on his yeeloong (from when he was working with X), so I think should be able to test this easily. -- Daniel JB Clark | http://pobox.com/~dclark | Activist; Owner \|/ FREEDOM -+-> INCLUDED ~ http://freedomincluded.com /|\ Free Software respecting hardware ~ Lemote Yeeloong reseller _______________________________________________ gNewSense-dev mailing list gNewSense-dev@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnewsense-dev
