This should be released days later, but some one email me ask to add a webcam support.
Since I've already finished it, I'm willing to share it with you all here.
Ok, I'm going to finish my term papers...see you later!

This is awesome, thanks a bunch!
Do you think you could add support for the RJ45 network card?
Thanks !

Any chance of making this open source or configurable (via plugins ?) so people can add their own devices (like GPS, modem etc) ?

Ok, the next version will bring you a config file to do this.

When I disable wireless the blue light stays on.
Is this normal?
Offline
I don't think you need the wireless. Fn f2 using asus' acpi drivers disables wireless.

BASSAM,
great app! quick feedback: the "Webcam" menu option is disabled from the systemtray app but Win+4 still works. Also, any way to add other FN + key functions (like volume on/off) so I have access to these using a USB keyboard?
thanks!

Has anybody figured out how to enable the webcam option in the system tray app? -i know the win+4 works, but would like the fullfunctionality...

As you konw, I'm busy these days working on AsTray+, since beta2 was released, I'll do some works on Softswitch.

Great App. Thanks.

BASSAM, great stuff! Thanks for putting the effort into this. I read an earlier post about a config file, so when this comes, it may answer this question but...
I am considering doing the internal USB hack and putting (for example) my BT dongle inside on one of these USB ports. Will this app in its current state detect a BT dongle regardless of which port it is on? The reason I ask is that I am holding off on doing the mod as I dont want to have my BT always on. Currently, I simply unplug it. But I want it hidden away inside and to be able to turn it on/off via software (hopefully) using your tool.
Again thx!

deejay, it will work wherever the BT is plugged into, incl. internal ports.

Perfect! Thanks! Keep up the good work and lookin fwd to the configurable version!

Loved AsTray so much, thought I'd try softswitch. Found 2 things and a suggestion:
1.) It found my bluetooth adatper and disabled it. But when I click on 'Bluetooth" (to disabled), a box pops up that says "PowerBasic" and has "1" as it's text. I hit the only option "Ok." Then it repeats, but the text says "0." Then it works. The same thing happens when I re-enable.
2.) Webcam is grayed out on my 701.
*.) I second the suggestion, for disabling the ethernet adapter.
Thanks for the great work!

BASSAM, do the settings of Softswitch directly change settings in the bios?

No, it changes the device state by calling windows apis, so it's more safe and can be used on most computers

Can Softswitch be used for this "Deep Sleep" Battery saving trick:
http://forum.eeeuser.com/viewtopic.php?id=6636
That trick also disables webcam, but by disabling the "USB Composite Device" in device manager. If not, can SSwitch incorporate this style of turning off webcam?

now working on a new version of softswtich, any advices?
