Description Andrew Holmes 2005-02-05 22:36:19 CET
The WaveLAN plugin should autohide when the WaveLAN device can not be found
(since it then must be offline) if "Autohide when offline" option is selected,
but it doesn't.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select the "Autohide when offline" option in preferences.
2. rmmod <device kernel module>

Actual Results:  
Quality bar goes red and tooltip reads "No such WaveLAN device".

Expected Results:  
Autohide.

"Offline" means: The interface is present, but not active.

The reason for this definition is simple: If the wavelan plugin would hide as
well if the interface is not present, then you wouldn't be able to change it
from the user interface. Imagine, you had a "wi0" wireless card, but now bought
a new one, which is recognized as "ath0", then you wouldn't be able to
change/remove the wavelan plugin from the panel (only by editing the
contents.xml manually), because the "wi0" device is no longer present and
therefore the wavelan plugin is hidden.
