very nice, I use this all the time... thanks!

It would be great if there would be a single applet where one can control (switch on/off) wifi, 3G, GSM and GPS. Now everybody is creating applets that only do one, making the menu crowded ;)

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've experienced a minor bug about plugin not showing up in control panel after installation depending on other installed plugins. I will upload a fixed and improved version ASAP. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@Alessandro Tucci Penso sia un comportamento normale in base alla tua configurazione delle Impostazioni di Rete. Consiglierei di usare "Chiedi sempre" che mi sembra più adatto a chi vuole risparmiare batteria con wifi-switcher.

Scusate se commento in italiano, ma mi è un po' difficile scrivere in inglese quanto segue. Ho provato Wifi Switcher sul mio N900 ma ho riscontrato un problema. Nelle impostazioni di rete ho impostato la connessione automatica verso qualsiasi connessione. Quando con Wifi Switcher disattivo la WLAN, l'N900 va dopo pochi secondi in connessione automatica sulla rete telefonica. Il simboletto della connessione dati inizia a lampeggiare ma dopo un po' di, ritengo, tentativi di connessione, per così dire, si arrende. Questo problema è stato già segnalato per caso? O sono solo io? Sul mio terminale è anche presente l'utility per passare da Dual a 3G o GSM only. Grazie per l'eventuale risposta.

I will add XB-Maemo-Display-Name. I skipped it as it makes not a big difference in reality:

wifi-switcher vs. Wifi switcher

Do I need to upload a new version to extras-devel for that?

This works well, but it's strange that the >button doesn't look pressed or doesn't indicate >which state WLAN is in when you go the menu. We don't need a "Wifi Switcher" label on that >button, just "Disable WLAN" when it's enabled >and "Enable WLAN" when it's disabled.

There is an indicator in the system tray when the wlan is disabled by wifi-switcher if it is not there wlan is in standard "always online" maemo mode. The button is just there so that people doesn't have to open a terminal to launch the helper script, adding autodetection of wlan state and changing the label accordingly will increase code complexity. I would like to keep it simple as I have little spare time to devote to this project and I still hope that nokia will release a working firmware so that wifi-switcher is not needed.

I encourage you to utilize maemo-specific debian/control fields to make the name more friendly (using XB-Maemo-Display-Name)

We don't need a "Wifi Switcher" label on that button, just "Disable WLAN" when it's enabled and "Enable WLAN" when it's disabled.

@ Venomrush Mostly changes in wifi.sh helper script to clean it up and improve robustness.

Thank You Tito, you provided a simple yet safe and powerful method to stop my battery drainage issue.

I'm using it since 0.0.2 and no problem at all.

A vote for you ;)

What's the changelog since 0.0.4 uploaded in Bugzilla?

Glad it's now in Extras-Testing!

Seems to work well, I'll keep an eye on my battery during these days. Thumbs up
