Description Bastien Nocera 2007-02-21 10:09:58 UTC

From bug #8570:
---8<---
On thinkpads with ibm-acpi (http://ibm-acpi.sourceforge.net/) loaded, you can
control bluetooth with:

echo enable > /proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth
echo disable > /proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth

There are also similar methods for the WLAN and WWAN modules.

Just tested on an IBM laptop that I thought had a Bluetooth adapter, and it conveniently lies about the presence of a Bluetooth device, just like the Sony one does.

$ cat /proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth 
status:         enabled
commands:       enable, disable

And it's very much not present.

Reassigning, as I don't have access to an IBM laptop. Should be easy to implement, in a similar way to the Sony one.

Do you want this done in an addon in C, or just a shell based script thing?

Comment 4 Bastien Nocera 2007-05-16 01:32:47 UTC

The callout for "Get" probably needs to be implemented in C, but the set can easily be implemented in shell.
