For me the only resemblence of an event I see is when I switch off RF - the kernel sends a log to syslog. wpa_supplicant doesn't pick it up, and neither does devd. The result is that I can't keep wpa_supplicant running and let it reassociate when I turn off/on, and neither can I start/stop wpa_supplicant from devd when I turn on/off. I guess I could leave the RF switch on and just bind a key shortcut in Xorg to start/stop wpa_supplicant, but a standard approach would be nice... :) Thanks, Aragon
