Works like a charm so far

@laasonen
Could you add a button to completely disable wlan like wifi switcher?
I'm imagining something like dual/3g/gsm applet with 3 buttons:
Bleeding|Stock|NoWlan
Or just a small «Off» Button next to the select Button.
That way I would save a status menu slot and wouldn't have to do
Bleeding->Stock->Wifi Switcher to disable Wlan.

Thanks. I'll have to remove "sh " from the command and the applet should work.

I'll check how it looks with two buttons.

thanks for your app

it works for me but it should load bleeding edge driver and put into monitor mode not just loading bleeding edge driver .

is it possible to modify to do this and upload it ?

Like this?

Code:

airmon-ng start wlan0

You could add this feature easily by running this as root:

Code:

echo 'ifconfig wlan0 up; sh -c "airmon-ng start wlan0 >> /dev/null &" &' >> /sbin/load-bleeding-edge-drivers.sh
