Description Bastien Nocera 2009-06-14 18:42:07 UTC 
As available in the 2.6.31 kernels.
Comment 1 Bastien Nocera 2009-06-14 19:22:15 UTC 
See example code in rfkill.c:
http://git.sipsolutions.net/gitweb.cgi?p=rfkill.git;a=summary

This would need to be wrapped in GObject, and with the mainloop for events. The current API in lib/bluetooth-killswitch.[ch] should be re-usable.

    Bug 585765 – Move killswitch code to /dev/rfkill
    
    Port the killswitch code to using rfkill sub-system in newer
    kernels.
    
    Note that your distribution will need to ship udev rules
    to allow normal users to change the killswitch state.
