Package: gnome-bluetooth
Version: 2.28.3-1
Severity: important
Hi,
I've tested the kernel 2.6.31 from experimental which introduce the new
/dev/rfkill device. The lack of read/write access to this device makes the user
unable to switch bluetooth on/off (depending on its initial state). Thus I'm
asking if it would be possible to bump the bug severity and provide a way for
users to enable rfkill as Fabian suggested.
Regards.
