Current version of hal:
0.5.10+git20080301-1ubuntu1
Current behaviour:
- if starting system with killswitch on, no wireless networks are found until after /etc/init.d/hal restart
- if I turn the killswitch off and immediately (say 2 to 4 seconds at most) turn it back on, everything is fine. "iwlist scan" shows no interfaces during the off period, but sees them again when switched back on
- if I turn the killswitch off and wait until Network Manager notices that there's no network available (about 20 or 30 seconds), Network Manager stupidly tries to re-associate with the access point, eventually asks for its WPA key and continues showing wireless networks available in its drop-down list. This may be a separate bug in NM, I'll recheck that behaviour when this one is fixed. "iwlist scan" does not show any interfaces even when the switch is turned back on. "sudo /etc/init.d/hal restart" does not seem to help after the switch has been off this long either, I have no alternative but to reboot my machine.
- if I turn the killswitch off, suspend to RAM, resume, "iwlist scan" shows no interfaces. Again, "sudo /etc/init.d/hal restart" does not help
