Hi, As discussed in bug 599002, I would like to see the NM wwan on/off toggle also toggle the soft rfkill (block) for wwan devies, like the same functionality which was recently added for wlan devices. Here are some interesting tid-bits form bug 599002: (In reply to comment #1) > Note that for wwan, rfkill just means whether the device is powered, not > whether it is enabled. > When WWAN is rfkilled, it drops off the USB bus > completely because its power is cut. When WWAN is not rfkilled, the card is > available but is not necessarily powered up fully. I understand what you're saying here, but this is not true for WWAN integrated into laptops, at least not the WWAN in my Dell latitude E6400... Directly after boot, hw rfkill switch at radio(s) on position: [hans@localhost ~]$ rfkill list 0: dell-wifi: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no 1: dell-bluetooth: Bluetooth Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no 2: dell-wwan: Wireless WAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no 3: phy0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no 4: hci0: Bluetooth Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no [hans@localhost ~]$ lsusb | grep Huawei Bus 002 Device 002: ID 12d1:1001 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.

This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
