I think that Jeremy is trying to make aircraft-manager-5 work, while I
am trying to make aircraft-manager_bellmont11 work. The bellmont11
version is the one that would be installed on a fully up to do dell-mini
with Dell's version of 8.04.1.

I believe that a user who has disabled bluetooth or wireless using the
method in the bellmont11 version of the utility will need the bellmont11
version working in order to re-enable.

Failure using Aircraft-Manager with Jaunty UNR

Bug description:
I am not sure if this should be bug or a wishlist. BUT aircraft-manager crashes 
miserably when I add the package to a Jaunty Ubuntu-Netbook-Remix. I wanted 
that aircraft manager installed to turn off and on my bluetooth support mostly.

I did dig into the code of aircraft manager and discovered two 
incompatibilities with the UNR live image for Jaunty. First the kernel is 
missing a module called hci_usb which may explain why bluetooth notification 
icon does not appear. I know this cause I ran the command that this app ran 
directly in a terminal. 

Second the d-bus messages for network manager appear to have changed which does 
explain why it crashes in the first place. I know this cause it spews 
"dbus.exceptions.DBus Exceptions: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod: 
Method "getWirelessEnabled" with signature "" on interface ("null") doesn't 
exist. This method is called with getWifiState() on line 300 of 
aircraft-manager.

As I said I am unsure how this should be handled :/ but I think that 
aircraft-manager should be usuable in Jaunty even if the entire mini9 package 
set stays with Hardy. It seems only common sense to keep those brave mini9 
users happy.
