Hi All, Fedora 35 What is this all about?

Looking at https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/driver-api/rfkill.html#userspace-s..., it seems it is supposed to expose /dev/rfkill to the userspace. Maybe it is only allowing users to query the state but not change it? > > Many thanks, > -T > > _______________________________________________ > users mailing list -- users(a)lists.fedoraproject.org > To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave(a)lists.fedoraproject.org > Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ > List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines > List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org > Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
