Erm... what are you doing when the warning pops up?
It should only appear if you're trying to access the internet or use a Bluetooth device.

I'm using Wayfinder in the car. If I use online mode with my bluetooth GPS receiver, it constantly covers the screen with a pop-up dialog asking if I want to connect to every wifi signal it picks up. So I set it to off-line mode and put up with long wait for satellite acquire at which it asks me constantly if I want to exit off-line mode every time it encounters a wifi signal, obscuring the screen again.
No combination of connection settings alters this behaviour (which makes Wayfinder technically illegal to use in car in the UK).
So all I can think of is a way to disable this stupid dialog.

just a guess, but how about turning off the automatic search intervall in the connection manager?
Edit: Sorry havn't read it.

You already tried that out.

Switchonbt from the garage will enable bluetooth in offline mode.
But, this should work for your dialog problem, open x-term and get root access, put into offline mode, run:
/etc/init.d/icd2 stop
I'm sure icd2 is in chinook but i've only tested this trick on a n800 with diablo and inbuilt browser.
Terminating icd means no internetz unless you reboot or run same command with start instead.
But it seems like you don't want internet in the car and stopping icd2 shouldn't interfere with bt.

The problem seems to be wayfinder thinking it has to constantly connect to the internet.
If you're absolutely sure there are no settings in Wayfinder itself that are causing a problem, this bug ought to be reported on Bugzilla:

I will do as suggested (keeping my fingers crossed!). Thanks.
The warning seems redundant to me. If I wanted it to look for connections I'd set it to do so. If I've set it to be off-line, I will decide when I want it to go on-line. It's as if when I turn my TV off it keeps flashing up a message saying 'do you want to turn me on?
Maybe I'm missing something?

From what you've said it sounds like Wayfinder (or some other application?) is trying to connect to the internet at regular intervals.
Do you have an RSS news feeder switched on perhaps? Or is the tablet checking for email?

Lemmy, did you try qwerty12's command line?

I don't think switching the dialogue box off is the answer, because there's some app trying to connect when it shouldn't.
The problem isn't the dialogue box in itself, it's whatever is causing it to appear when it shouldn't.
