Did you mean defining what Fedora does about it, or what "airplane mode" refers to? Airplane mode is a term referring to killing all radio-frequency transmissions that might be a problem on a plane. Some mobile phones have it, now, so that you can use the other features of the phone (alarm clock, games, whatever) instead of completely turning off the phone for airplane safety precautions. An RF kill function is the same thing. And as another message in this thread depicts, it makes sense that it sends a signal to the OS to turn off all RF devices, rather than the kill switch only being directly wired to some specific RF device inside the computer. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.9.10-100.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Sun Jul 14 01:31:27 UTC 2013 x86_64 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.
