[Bug 176090] Re: WiFi / WLAN LED not working on notebooks with Intel iwl4965 | iwl3945

[Mary Gardiner]

I have included the below in the bug description, in the hope that we
don't keep getting people confirming the problem:

FIX
This problem is fixed for Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy) in the backported kernel modules. (Note, however, that it does not behave the same way as it used to. The light will not blink on and off, but will be steady.) To install these kernel modules, install the package "linux-backports-modules-hardy".

** Description changed:

  The WLAN LED does not glow on recent Intel-based notebooks (including
  Sony Vaio, Dell Inspiron, Lenovo Thinkpad and many others - we know,
  please don't list yours here), using the iwl4965 or iwl3945 WiFi
  drivers.
  
  The bug in the iwl4965 kernel module is being addressed by Intel.
  
  I'm logging the LED status at each milestone release on iwl4965 -
  there's really no need for anyone else to add to this bug report unless:
  
  a) you're the first person to log the LED status at a milestone on iwl3945 (I don't have an adapter to test.)
  b) you are informing about changes made to code or packaging.
  c) you find a duplicate bug.
