This should optionally (ie. if HAL is available at compile and run-time) use the new HAL API that allows to enable/disable builtin Bluetooth devices completely (ie. not just not configured to accept anything, but completely disabled, unplugged, and not consuming one bit of power). The HAL API is pretty straight forward: http://people.freedesktop.org/~david/hal-spec/hal-spec.html#device-properties-killswitch and http://people.freedesktop.org/~david/hal-spec/hal-spec.html#interface-device-killswitch It's implemented for Sony and Dell laptops, with another opened RFE for IBM laptops: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10053 It should be dead-easy to implement for someone with access to an IBM laptop (unlike me). -- Bastien Nocera ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
