Huh, isn't that what in preferences "startup-enable" (and the mode type) is for?

At the moment, after every reboot it goes to enabled state.

It would be great if it stays at the last state it was before rebooted/ shutdown? if it can be done using a simple mod, please post it, if u dont want the applet to be updated.

Thanks for the wonderful applet. significant difference matey!

The applet doesn't save the status of the wlan anywhere, so you first would have to make it save the wlan's status to gconf when the status changes and on startup read the status from gconf and modify the wlan's status.

It's pretty easy task, if anyone is interested on implementing it, but I can't do it myself, because I don't have Maemo SDK or a device to test it on anymore.

Quickest way would probably be to add something like this:

Code:

start on started hildon-desktop

respawn

script
  exec /sbin/unload-drivers.sh
end script

to:

Code:

/etc/event.d/disable-wlan

Hmm, the applet probably starts up before wlan gets disabled, so it shows wrong status :/

To fix it, you could add this line:

Code:

		commands.getoutput('sudo /sbin/unload-drivers.sh')

after this line:

Code:

		StatusMenuItem.__init__(self)

on this file:

Code:

/usr/lib/hildon-desktop/status-area-wlan-driver-selector-applet.py

and remove this file:

Code:

/etc/event.d/disable-wlan

Dunno which version you have installed, but on mine, if i click any of the plugins buttons, i can select preferences (to the right of the screen which pops up). On the same screen where you f.e. select the mode for GSM.

don_falcone, are You sure that You're not referring to Advanced Interface Switcher, instead of the WLAN Driver selector applet?
