A simple Python program to simplify control of the AcerHK radio's -- Wifi and Bluetooth. It enables users to turn on / off the Bluetooth and Wifi Radios. It depends on the AcerHK driver to function.

Version 0.6 has been released. This release focuses on configuring the system for use with acerhk. It will run modprobe, and if successful, offer to add to the /etc/modules file. This is a very simple task for most Linuxers; however, for new users, this should be very beneficial. Key enhancements: Checks for modprobe success; Alerts if modprobe unsuccessful; if modprobe success, added option to modify the /etc/modules file; and checks to see if /etc/modules already has 'acerhk' in it and if so, will not add again; Notifies user of possible problem that the module is in 'modules' but isn't loaded. FEEDBACK HIGHLY ENCOURAGED!
v. 0.6: This version added better modprobe support and options for the user to configure system on first run. - Checks for modprobe success. - Alerts if modprobe unsuccessful. - If modprobe success, added option to modify the /etc/modules file - Checks to see if /etc/modules already has 'acerhk' in it, if so, will not add again. Notifies user of possible problem that the module is in 'modules' but isn't loaded.

Version 0.5 of the AcerHK GUI is now released and available for download on SourceForge! The new version has a little functionality over the previous version. Key enhancements: - Now runs modprobe if driver not found. - Preferences now saved to configuration file. (~/.config/acerhkgui/) - Able to browse for driver location in rare case it is not located in default location (/proc/driver/acerhk) SPECIAL NOTES: - Preferences has added tab for mail led configuration; however, this function does not work at present time. - If at any time, you need to refresh your configuration, you can delete the ~/.config/acerhk directory. On next run, the default configuration will be rebuilt - The diver information tab in preferences refresh is delayed if driver not found and then later manually selected from preferences. Closing and reopening the preferences (maybe twice) will resolve this. Thanks much for the interest in this little program. The interest has kept me developing it more and more. :)
version 0.5 -- 18 JUN 2009 - Fixed Typo on the "default path" in the preferences dialog. - Re-located several functions back to main program and removed from the AcerhkguiApp class. - Created several new functions / function place-holders. - Made configuration settings persistent and set config file in ~/.config/acerhkgui/acerhkgui.conf - Previously, stored text file in ~/ that was hidden, now saving it to ~/.config/acerhkgui/ - Wrote code to clean up after previous version (remove .acerhkdriverinfo.txt file) - Began creating foundations for "new mail" feature for pop3 accounts. - NOTE: PW is not secure in present form. Future version will seek to encrypt the password and possibly use the key-ring feature. - Created New Mail settings tab for GUI and values are stored, but not used. - Created 'flag' variable to indicate driver being used. Presently set for the Acer HK driver. Default setting maintained in config file. If the gui capabilities are expanded to provide functionality for other drivers of similar function, this will be incorporated into the GUI. - Fixed issue with Driver Information not being updated if path selected points to wrong location or driver not present. - Added section that will run modprobe to load selected driver. Function will be able to decide which driver to "probe" for based on set driver flag - Added a few more "persistant" pieces of data in saved config file. - Manually entered path data is now checked to see if driver at specified location.
