Re: [ANNOUNCE] Wlan Driver Selector Applet - Switch easily between stock and bleeding edge drivers

Works like a charm so far :)

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Wlan Driver Selector Applet - Switch easily between stock and bleeding edge drivers

@laasonen
Could you add a button to completely disable wlan like wifi switcher?
I'm imagining something like dual/3g/gsm applet with 3 buttons:
Bleeding|Stock|NoWlan
Or just a small «Off» Button next to the select Button.
That way I would save a status menu slot and wouldn't have to do
Bleeding->Stock->Wifi Switcher to disable Wlan.

Thanks. I'll have to remove "sh " from the command and the applet should work.

updated to latest version 0.1.3-1 today and it works perfectly :) loads,unloads,gives correct readings accordingly on xterm and correct messages/status on applet :) many many thanks laasonen for the applet and all your help getting it working on my n900 :)

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Wlan Driver Selector Applet - Switch easily between stock and bleeding edge drivers

thanks for your app

it works for me but it should load bleeding edge driver and put into monitor mode not just loading bleeding edge driver .

is it possible to modify to do this and upload it ?

Like this?

Code:

airmon-ng start wlan0

You could add this feature easily by running this as root:

Code:

echo 'ifconfig wlan0 up; sh -c "airmon-ng start wlan0 >> /dev/null &" &' >> /sbin/load-bleeding-edge-drivers.sh
