[Bug 26075] Re: HP Pavilion dv1000 laptop wireless button will not enable and disable wireless

[Celso Pinto]

The led on dv1000 is disabled by default. You can enable wlan leds with the following command as root:

% echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ipw2200/0000\:02\:06.0/led

This applies for dv1245ea which is of the dv1000 family. The led not being enable has no interference with radio kill switch operations. Since Flight6 ships with network-manager, it's easy to discover if the switch is on or off: if you see a network you have it on, otherwise it's off.

By default, the kill switch is off so after boot you have the ability to join any network you wish.
