Hi everyone

after a long time I hacked again a bit into the rfkill-applet
with the one reason for me to get easy access to the toggles in
/sys/devices/platform/sony_laptop/.

So, rfkill-applet-0.8 is out. What is new, you can add things like:
	cdpower.file=/sys/devices/platform/sony-laptop/odd_power
to your config file and get a toggle that allows you to turn on and
off the CD/DVD/optical drive.

Remember: By default you will not have write permissions to this sys file,
unless you play around with udev permissions ...

Of yours you can add other toggles, like
	touchpad.file=/sys/devices/platform/sony-laptop/touchpad
or even the battery care function can be controlled (but only on/off,
the on value is defiend in the config file):
	#
	# batterycare: we can only switch between on and off, but the
	# on value can be configured here to either 50% (2) or 80% (1, default)
	batterycare.file=/sys/devices/platform/sony-laptop/battery_care_limiter
	batterycare.onvalue=1

So, get it here:
	http://www.logic.at/people/preining/software/rfkill-applet-0.8.tar.gz

As mentioned before, there is a git repository at gitorious, and if 
someone wants to contribute, please go ahead.

Best wishes

Norbert
