What I was saying earlier is: 1st reinstall python, BY ITSELF, without this applet. Then install the applet. If that doesn't work, try first installing python, then installing the dependency python-hildondesktop or whatever, and only then, AFTER installing those, install the applet again. That typically works for me for Advanced Clock Plugin, Advanced Power, and for Advanced Interface Switcher (which are all python status menu applets).

Ouch. Ok, if you had so many apps installed that depended on "python", that probably means you had all the Python you needed already on-board, and your issue may be different than mine.

Hmm. Alright, well, try this:

apt-get install python-hildondesktop

Then reboot, then reinstall the applet. (Keep in mind, I'm mostly guessing here, based on vaguelly similar experiences... I'm not an expert on this issue by any means.)

Hmm, maemo doesn't seem to have /etc/modules.conf :/ I would use probably launchscript then :/

Like bltcool said its the binary/compat-wireless folder. The on with contains all the .ko files.

Maybe 2g/3g selector. I've got the rest installed and I see the applet (but I can't make it work, see two posts above ^).
So try seeing if that selector is causing you problems.

I haven't had any issues with 2g/3g selector.

Is it saying that bleeding edge drivers are loaded when you try to load them and when you try to unload it says that stock drivers are already loaded? Do you have the 0.1.0-5 version?

Hi laasonen, and thanks for this applet

When you test for a mismatch between current status and actual loaded modules, you should update status and buttons accordingly, otherwise, it results in a "bleeding edge drivers" button that refuses to load "stock drivers" since they are already loaded.

Here is the modified click function with one line added and one line modified in bold

Code:

	def click(self, button):
		if self.getDriverStatus() != self.status:
			if self.status:
				self.Notifications.notify("Stock drivers are already in use")
			else:
				self.Notifications.notify("Bleeding Edge drivers are already in use")
			self.status=self.getDriverStatus()
		else:
			folder = self.Config.getFolder()
			if self.Config.checkFolder(folder):
				if self.status:
					self.loadDrivers(folder, False)
				else:
					self.loadDrivers(folder, True)
			else:
				SetupDialog(self)
		self.updateButton()

laasonen, thank you for the great work. downloaded the latest version to MyDocs, extracted the files and selected the appropriate folder for the applet to load drivers from. done and done.

seat-of-the pants guestimate says at least 30 percent faster downloads on my home network (linksys e3000 router).

will report with issues, if any.

thanks again!
