Comment 16 for bug 131835

Since this bug doesn't seem to be closed, I'll post here and open another bug if necessary.

Reappeared in daemon.log under Intrepid. Message:

killswitch_getpower_reply(): Error getting killswitch power: dellWirelessCtl (/usr/bin/dellWirelessCtl) not available or executable.

I've just downloaded libsmbios-bin after an apt-file search, and have softlinked it. I haven't issued the modprobe yet; I'll try to remember to monitor it and post back with progress. It only appears to log the warning each time NM is restarted, although I may have to revise that statement later. I don't know whether this was occurring under hardy.

Is this really a bug though? I was surprised to find this report; I thought libsmbios-bin was more of an 'optional extra'...
