Re: eeepc-laptop: bugreport

Hi,

the problem is, when i press wlan-key, the hotplug-work is triggerd,
but you can not say, which device to unplug.

My idea is to separate the key-event and rfkill-handler.
So you can bind key to userspace-tool, which turn the
rfkill on and off.

Besides i think the hotplug-workaround ist not very
good solution. If rfkill don't work propper
on other models, then isn't it better to use
software-rfkill from wlan-driver?
(to use staging drivers isn't good,
and good drivers have it implemented)

The hotplug-workaround can be maded by
userspace too (fake hotplug driver).
The benifit is, you can say, which device
should i unplug (and not hope,
that it is on slot 0).

Regards,
Andrej
