I deleted this fork for reconsideration. The once-proposed patch is now here: https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar/commit/102dd5f2147a4ddb0ce516f2d1c5907defbbba93 >>> >>> >>> On 17 February 2014 15:13, Daniel Narvaez <dwnarv...@gmail.com> wrote: >>>> >>>> Hi, >>>> >>>> Frederick Grose posted a pull request which hides the wireless control >>>> panel bits if no wireless device is present.

For example, How does the behavior change with rfkill? How does it change with a removable wireless adapter like a USB or PCMCIA device? I had proposed looking for a cfg80211 holders in /sys/module/cfg80211/holders/ in an earlier patch, https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar/commit/f58fec25809649fa06b1a57f1fa65dd606c676a0 This worked for an XO-1, but some systems may use nl80211 instead or have drivers in ROM (see (http://www.haifux.org/lectures/206/wirelessLec.pdf). It would be good to have some guidance from the community of wireless experts. --Fred _______________________________________________ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel
