yes, that is true. That was my point: the package manager will tell me that rfkill is a "Suggest" or "Recommend", but it will not say what it's needed for. That's why I wrote that it would be useful to have some kind of comment with a Suggest/Recommend to tell users *why* it's recommended. Maybe that'll come one day... >> * Explain in the package description where rfkill is needed: >> "Install rfkill to enable toggling WLAN on Thinkpad laptops." > > No, this will bloat the description.

Maybe the package description could note that /usr/share/doc/acpi-support/README.thinkpad. (or /usr/share/doc/acpi-support/README* ) contains useful information for users :-). >> * Put some hint into ibm-wireless.sh about rfkill, e.g.: >> Replace >> test -x /usr/sbtest -x /usr/sbin/rfkill || exit 0 >> with >> >> if (! test -x /usr/sbin/rfkill) >> then >> logger "Error: Please install package rfkill to enable toggling of >> wireless >> devices." ;exit 0 >> fi > > This sounds good.
