Message-ID: <4344521C.8080302@woletz.de> (raw)
Hello all,
since a few weeks I try to use hotplug so that
the WLAN interface is brought up when it is
activated via the hardware key.
The notebook is a Samsung X20 with
Intel ipw2200 wireless chip set.
The hotplug system seems to recognize the
activation of the interface via the hardware key
because an event is generated which calls the
firmware agent, which then loads the firmware.
But even when switching all debug mechanisms on
it seems to be only that one and only firmware event
thatb is generated. When switching the interface off via
the notebook key, it seems that no event is
generated at all (no additional info in /var/log/messages
or /events).
Because it is a bit difficult to get a general
knowledge of the hotplug system your help is
appreciated:
how can I achieve that an event is generated
(beyond the one that is generated to load the
firmware) when switching on and off the WLAN
interface?
In conclusion which agent must I supply
(filename and directory) to achieve that it
is called when switching the WLAN on/off?
Where can I get more Information to really understand
the interaction between hardware, hotplug, HAL, dbus and udev?
I've some basic knowledge about the different systems,
but none about their interaction and the files that
participate (agents etc.)
The documentation I've found unfortunately has not
answered my questions.
Many thank in advance!
bye
Marcus
