So essentially the oh-so-typical FLOSS development thing happened:
someone decided that a working method is deprecated and just turns
it off without even checking whether the functionality can be
replaced by anything else.

Where do we place our priorities again? I thought it was *users*. :)

Thanks, Gregor for bootstrapping my HAL experience. I have that much
working. But I really don't want to add an xkb symbol to trigger my
*window manager* to call a script which invokes sudo to toggle my
wifi on/off.
