[ANNOUNCE] Wlan Driver Selector Applet - Switch easily between stock and bleeding edge drivers and shut down WLAN complitely [0.2.2 in extras]
Just coded a little status area applet which lets you switch between stock and bleeding edge drivers :) It also has a possibility to shut down WLAN complitely.
http://hosted.laasonen.net/attachment-LFGWWV.png You can find it under name status-area-wlan-driver-selector-applet on extras-testing. Please vote, if you think its stable. All ideas and feedback are welcome :) How?
Applet is not showing up? You could try to run this as root: Code:
apt-get install python python-hildondesktop Code:
gconftool-2 --type string --set /apps/wlan_driver_selector/driver_folder /path/to/drivers/ Quote:
Code:
apt-get install wget #If you don't have wget already Or download this with your PC, move it to your N900 and then open it with the file browser. |

But... how does this applet know from where does it need to pickup the drivers? Or they are included in the deb?

I'm guessing it either
A: Assumes that the driver is in the default path, as per the instructions in the original package from lxp that they came in. or B: Performs epically awesome shell script voodoo, searching the system for a directory that has all of the files with the respective kernel module names in it, then saves that location to somewhere, then, if at some point it gets an error because those files are no longer there, it repeats the search. Cuz B would be awesome...slow, but awesome.... but it's probably A. |

Just looked at the source code - looks like (I skimmed, and I'm not that experienced with Python code making GUIs, so I might be reading this wrong), it's going to actually give you a menu to download the bleeding edge drivers, and then has a configuration option of pointing it to the directory where the bleeding edge drivers are.

I use the bleeding edge driver all the time. Some people do say there's battery issues, but I use it as my default driver all the time, and I see no noticeable battery life decrease.
