Description:
similarly to what I previously discussed here (for netcfg): https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/33474 it would be useful that netctl-auto would automatically disconnect any wireless profile when the wireless card is turned off (eg., by the switch present in laptops). One would then have a very quick way to reset and reconnect to a wireless network by simply turning off and then on the card. This would be useful, for example, when frequently loosing network connection due to a bad/weak signal. |
This task depends upon
