I'm thinking I would have preferred no light to this constant "blinky-blinky-blinky" eye-sore.
The LED blinks when traffic goes through the wireless card. However you can configure the LED behavior in /sys/class/net/wlanX/device/leds. For example something like echo none > /sys/class/net/wlanX/device/leds/*TX/trigger echo none > /sys/class/net/wlanX/device/leds/*RX/trigger echo none > /sys/class/net/wlanX/device/leds/*assoc/trigger should deactivate the blinking while traffic is received or transmitted. Just play with the LED triggers to get the desired behavior. So, the LED part is no bug. (In reply to comment #1)
In addition, if I am using Network Manager I have found two ways to get the wireless back working. One is to boot into Microsoft and press the button. The other way is to go into the BIOS settings and turn off the wireless card and then turn it back on saving the settings. Again this is with an iwl3945 chipset.
This behavior is already fixed in the current kernel git and should appear soon as update for 11.1. Hence, I'd suggest to close this report as INVALID and open a new one for the last remaining issue: only two signal strength bars are shown ... -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
