Description Patrick Silva 2018-10-18 15:48:35 UTC

Airplane mode checkbox is preset in plasma-nm applet when I use a desktop computer with no wireless device. Such checkbox should only be present if the computer has some wireless device.

The functionality is useful though. Maybe we just need to present it differently?

Comment 2 Jan Grulich 2018-11-26 14:49:24 UTC

I guess it's basically useless when there is no wifi, modem or a bluetooth. I'll look into it.

while it is desirable to unclutter the system tray of useless stuff, I found that most software which tries to be "intelligent" usually fails badly at it.

I am afraid that if some Auto-magic hides the airplane icon, it will make it disappear even in cases where on needs the airplane.

I just saw it happen over and over, hence my negativity about this kind of thing.
