    "Flight mode" for the loader

    +

    Not every airline allows to use radio transmitters like WLAN-NIC's in + airplanes (yet). The goal of this entry is to provide an entry in the + loader which prohibits drivers for devices which transmit radio signals + to attach to the device. One way of providing this functionality would + be to add a menu entry to the loader which sets a "flight mode" loader + tunable which would have to be queried by every driver which is able to + transmit radio signals to decide if the normal operation is allowed or + if the device has to be disabled. The loader-menu should be able to + detect this tunable in loader.conf and indicate which way of booting is + the current default (in case the user adds it there to be on the safe + side in the airplane).
