Why wireless is disable by radio killswitch?

[Bin Li <libin charles gmail com>]

Hi,

 I've use NM 0.7.0.r4359, and from the lshal I could found "killswitch".
$ lshal --version
lshal version 0.5.12

udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/dell_wlan_switch'
  info.capabilities = {'killswitch'} (string list)
  info.category = 'killswitch'  (string)
  info.interfaces = {'org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.KillSwitch'} (string list)
  info.parent = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_dcdbas'  (string)
  info.product = 'Dell WLAN Switch'  (string)
  info.subsystem = 'unknown'  (string)
  info.udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/dell_wlan_switch'  (string)
  killswitch.access_method = 'dell'  (string)
  killswitch.type = 'wlan'  (string)
  org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.KillSwitch.method_argnames = {'power',
''} (string list)
  org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.KillSwitch.method_execpaths =
{'hal-system-killswitch-set-power', 'hal-system-killswitch-get-power'}
(string list)
  org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.KillSwitch.method_names = {'SetPower',
'GetPower'} (string list)
  org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.KillSwitch.method_signatures = {'b', ''}
(string list)

But when I run "NetowrkManager --no-daemon" with root permission, it prompt:

NetworkManager: <info>  eth1: driver is 'wl'.
NetworkManager: <info>  eth1: driver does not support SSID scans
(scan_capa 0x00).
NetworkManager: <info>  Found new 802.11 WiFi device 'eth1'.
NetworkManager: <info>  (eth1): exported as
/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/net_00_22_5f_53_60_01
NetworkManager: <info>  Wireless now disabled by radio killswitch

And I've check the switch is on, the wireless led is light.

When I use the wireless-tools, the iwlist and iwconfig, the wireless
card could be configured successfully, and works fine.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Sincerely Yours,

Bin Li
