# urfkill
For the laptop and mobile devices users, the management of the radio killswitches is important for the connectivity and power consumption. [[HAL|Software/hal]] used to take care of this job, but it is now [[deprecated|http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/hal/2008-May/011560.html]]. The urfkill project is created to fill the gap and to provide more flexible configuration for the rfkill-related function keys.
## Download
The latest release is 0.3.0 and can be downloaded from [[github|https://github.com/downloads/lcp/urfkill/urfkill-0.3.0.tar.xz]].
Development happens in [[git|GettingInvolved]]. There is a [[web interface|https://github.com/lcp/urfkill/]] to the repository.
## Documentation
The documents of the D-Bus API and liburfkill-glib can be found [[here|http://lcp.github.com/urfkill-doc/]].
### HowTo
[[How to launch urfkill during system boot|Software/urfkill/HowToLaunch]]
## Known Issues
* For Lenovo Thinkpad X200, the bluetooth killswitch (hci0) sometimes was soft-blocked after turning on bluetooth.
Solution: set "force_sync" to true in /etc/urfkill/urfkill.conf
* The bluetooth killswitches cannot be controlled by urfkilld in Lenovo [[ThinkPad|ThinkPad]] laptops.
The states of the bluetooth killswitches in [[ThinkPad|ThinkPad]] are maintained by the kernel platform drivers, i.e. thinkpad_acpi, and urfkilld has no way to change it.
Solution: please leave them alone.
## Bugs
Please mail to Gary Lin ([[glin@suse.com|mailto:glin@suse.com]]) and Joey Lee ([[jlee@suse.com|mailto:jlee@suse.com]]) or poke me (glin) on #udev/irc.freenode.net
## Client
* [[rfkiller|https://github.com/lcp/rfkiller]] - a gnome-extension which utilizes urfkill to manage killswitches.
## TODO
* Provide a policy for the user to setup rfkill control rules when catching WLAN/BT/3G keycodes.
* Integrate with GUI to provide power consumption function to user, e.g.
* Killswitch-Manager
* killswitch-applet
* python-killswitch
