PostPosted: Sun Dec 09, 2007 6:10 pm    Post subject: [ebuild] Wirelessctl - save & restore BT/WLAN state Reply with quote

I wrote a little script to save the states of the bluetooth and wlan interface at shutdown and to restore theses states at boot.

It's made for my asus laptop but I try to make it generic.

If you find mistakes or things like that...please let me know

depend() {

restore() {

start() {

      restore
   fi
   eend 0
}

stop() {
   if [ "$SAVE_ON_STOP" = "yes" ] ; then
      save
   fi
}





For example here is my conf for my ASUS laptop.

Code:

/# RESTORE_ON_START:
# Do you want to restore your wireless settings ?
# no - Do not restore state
# yes - Restore state

RESTORE_ON_START="yes"

# SAVE_ON_STOP:
# Do you want to save changes made to your wireless settings ?
# no - Do not save state
# yes - Save state

SAVE_ON_STOP="yes"


# BLUETOOTH

# Do you have a bluetooth adapter ?
# no - no bluetooth adapter present
# yes - bluetooth adapter present
BT="yes"

# Path where we can test if bluetooth adapter is active (test if : 0 or 1)
BT_TEST_PATH="/sys/devices/platform/asus-laptop/bluetooth"

# Command(s) to start the bluetooth adapter
BT_START_CMD="echo "1" > "/sys/devices/platform/asus-laptop/bluetooth""

# Command(s) to stop the bluetooth adapter
BT_STOP_CMD="echo "0" > "/sys/devices/platform/asus-laptop/bluetooth""


# WLAN

# Do you have a wlan adapter ?
# no - no wlan adapter present
# yes - wlan adapter present
WLAN="yes"

# Path where we can test if wlan adapter is active (test if : 0 or 1)
WLAN_TEST_PATH="/sys/devices/platform/asus-laptop/wlan"

# Command(s) to start the wlan adapter
WLAN_START_CMD="echo "1" > "/sys/devices/platform/asus-laptop/wlan" && modprobe iwl3945"

# Command(s) to stop the wlan adapter
WLAN_STOP_CMD="echo "0" > "/sys/devices/platform/asus-laptop/wlan" && modprobe -r iwl3945"



It is poorly tested for now.....


edit : [12/24/2007] corrected copy/paste mistake :evil:
edit : [10/13/2008] works perfectly as far as I know, you shouldn't experience too many weird effect :wink:
