Subject: Rfkill on ifconfig up.
Date: Mon, 23 Jun 2008 02:09:49 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1ba2fa240806221609p1b0cd641g2304d0812b61ecb3@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Little RF KILL design question from user space perspective.
What should be desired return value of ifconfig up when HW rfkill is
on (radio is off).

rfkill on (radio off)
ifconfig wlan0 up
rfkill off (radio on)

Will it be ok for these sequence to require additional ifconfig up to
make driver to work, providing the first ifconfig up failed?

Thanks
Tomas
