I whipped something together in about 30 minutes for ipw2200 and ipw2100 users. You don't need to add anything to that acpi-triggered script; you need to do the following using the attachments I've provided (locations assume Fedora): cp 10-ipw-rfkill-switch.fdi /usr/share/hal/fdi/information/10freedesktop/ cp hal-system-ipw /usr/libexec/hal-system-ipw chmod 755 /usr/libexec/hal-system-ipw cd /usr/lib/hal/scripts/linux patch -p0 < /path/to/hal-system-killswitch-get-power-linux.diff Restart HAL, and you're good to go. davidz/bastien: comments? the shellscript could possibly be better of course.
