Description Nicolò Chieffo 2007-03-28 20:33:55 UTC 
I personally tried to use the .setWirelessEnabled = false command from dbus (I didn't try the .sleep yet but there is a launchpad.net bug about it too).

This command stops wireless, but does not update the applet. in face "enable wireless" is not unchecked and the user still sees the wireless menus.

the fix is not simple because I think that the applet should listen to that dbus commands, which is not implemented now. but it is definitely a problem.

also tested with svn 0.7.0 and the applet still doesn't update the wireless status

I don't think this bug is a duplicate!
it is only about a dbus command that the applet ignores
Comment 4 Dan Williams 2007-06-22 11:13:49 UTC 
0.6.x branch SVN listens to wireless enabled signals, so this is fixed.  Networking enabled is a hack that will not be continued in 0.7.
Comment 5 Nicolò Chieffo 2007-06-22 11:18:23 UTC 
Do you mean that there will be no way to disable wireless from a console script?
Comment 6 Dan Williams 2007-06-22 17:39:49 UTC 
No, setWirelessEnabled is still there, nothing has changed for that in 0.6.x.
Comment 7 Nicolò Chieffo 2007-06-22 18:35:38 UTC 
all right, I still can use setWirelessEnabled. But I didn't understand if now the applet update its status when I use this command
Comment 8 Dan Williams 2007-06-23 03:21:23 UTC 
Yes, the applet that's on the 0.6.x branch in SVN will update it's status dynamically for wireless-enabled as of r88.
