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. Created attachment 8626 [details] [review] hal-bluetooth-button-1.patch First go at it. (In reply to comment #2) > Created an attachment (id=8626) [details] > hal-bluetooth-button-1.patch > > First go at it. This patch is obviously far from finished: - getting errors trying to call the methods (no method with signature...) - move sony matching to hal-info - the scripts need to be written - how to get the UDI of the actual bluetooth device - spicctrl -L might answer rubbish on the first go, as sonypi doesn't detect the presence of the Bluetooth dongle, just assumes on/off depending on module params <davidz> hadess: it looks kinda good I think; probably the matching needs to be more precise than just "laptop" and "Sony" but, yeah [...] <davidz> e.g. RFKillSwitch and have a rfkillswitch.type = 'bluetooth' <davidz> instead of BluetoothButton [...] <davidz> but I think "bool IsRFDisableBySoftware()" and "void setRFDisabledBySoftware(bool should_disable)" is what we want Comments for self: Acer support: http://www.archernar.co.uk/acer_acpi/acer_acpi_main.html The very hacky dmabt for Toshiba laptops: http://www.holtmann.org/linux/bluetooth/toshiba.html IBM and Sony ones already mentioned... Created attachment 8706 [details] [review] hal-bluetooth-button-2.patch Second try. This one will allow you to set the bluetooth device on/off by hand. Created attachment 8787 [details] [review] hal-bluetooth-button-3.patch Patch for sonypic support of the Bluetooth Killswitch. Get/set works.
