           Summary: Wavelan plugin doesn't auto-hide when wifi card not
                    present
           Product: Xfce Panel Plugins
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Medium
         Component: wavelan
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]


I use a notebook with an optional PCMCIA wireless card. When the card is not
plugged in, device wlan0 doesn't exist, but the plugin still sits in the panel.
Because the panel graphics are too big (compare with other mem/cpu/net panel
plugins), it takes up too much space.

It should either auto-hide even when the device is not present (ie. card is not
plugged in, therefore signal can't be measured anyway) or the lugin should be
redesigned to save space like other plugins (eg.
