Package: xdm
Version: 1:1.0.5-1
Severity: wishlist

Upon logging in to xdm, there are these two beeps and then the
wireless sit0 is enabled with no way to turn it off via ifdown,
ifplugd, ifconfig, etc.

kernel: NET: Registered protocol family 10
kernel: lo: Disabled Privacy Extensions
kernel: IPv6 over IPv4 tunneling driver
ifplugd.agent[2892]: Invoking ifplugd for sit0
kernel: sit0: Disabled Privacy Extensions

I don't want to get irradiated all day. Must I be forced to use
/dev/tty1 to do work instead of starting xwindows?

I don't see why you must bundle turning on wireless with logging into
xdm.

No I can't find the configuration file to turn it off.

Yes, no matter how long I wait, the moment I log into xdm there are
the two beeps and ifconfig shows sit0 up and there's no way to turn it off.

Postscript to the several bugs I reported about this today to
various packages: OK, dpkg-reconfigure ifplugd solved it. However
before you close the bug "just wanted to let you know of some of the
difficulties lesser brained users encountered".

Also in the BIOS I had the wireless disabled as extra precaution.
Perhaps some of the programs never expected that. But the two beeps
make one wonder if it ended up getting turned on anyway, even though
the Thinkpad r50e's antenna symbol stays dark.

sit0 is your IPv6-in-IPv4 interface, which has nothing to do with
wireless or with xdm.
Closing this bug.
