Re: [Gnewsense-dev] Yeeloong wireless issue dissected

Hi, Robert

Could you please compile rtl8187b into the kernel(2.6.30.9), not just
as a module.

Just checked it, if as module, Fn+F5 will not work, but the interface
/sys/class/rfkill/rfkill0/state works! This means the relative kernel
handling is "broken"(not really broken). but if you really want to use
rtl8187b as a module, try to ensure this program start as a daemon, it
will accept the event of Fn+F5 and switch the status of the wireless
automatically:

#!/usr/bin/env python
# file: wlan-rfkill.py

import dbus
import dbus.glib
import gobject
import re
import commands
import os

bus = dbus.SystemBus()
obj = bus.get_object( 'org.freedesktop.Hal',
'/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_yeeloong_laptop_logicaldev_input')

def wlan_handler():
        status = commands.getoutput("cat /sys/class/rfkill/rfkill0/state")
        if status == "1":
                status = "0"
        else:
                stutus = "1"
        c = "echo " + status + " > /sys/class/rfkill/rfkill0/state"
        os.system(c)

def signal_handler(action, key):
        print ("Received signal and it says: " + action + "," + key)
        if re.search("wlan", key):
                wlan_handler()

obj.connect_to_signal("Condition", signal_handler,
dbus_interface="org.freedesktop.Hal.Device")

# Tell the remote object to emit the signal

loop = gobject.MainLoop()
loop.run()
# end

and of course, you are recommended to use 2.6.31.5 directly, rtl8187b
works as a module or not with it very well~~
