You are correct... aircraft-manager-5. I do not know anything about any
perl module... gdebi did not claim other dependencies. I know only what
I read in the python code. The dbus method imployed does not work for
jaunty.The application specifically breaks in on nmOutput claiming an
invalid method.

>> bus = dbus.SystemBus()
.. nm = bus.get_object('org.freedesktop.NetworkManager',
.. '/org/freedesktop/NetworkManager')
.. nmOutput = nm.getWirelessEnabled()

And when I looked at what the code was doing to turn off and on the
bluetooth. I discovered issuing the commands in the terminal showed that
the kernel module in question was missing. So, I am fairly confident
that python would throw an error here as well.

>> if action == "on":
.. os.system("modprobe hci_usb reset=1")
.. os.system("/etc/init.d/bluetooth start")
.. elif action == "off":
.. os.system("/etc/init.d/bluetooth stop")
.. os.system("hciconfig hci0 down")
.. os.system("rmmod hci_usb")

Now as to what differences are between belmont11 and 5, I have not
investigated. I just thought explicit examples would be more helpful and
clear.
