@Mary: Snap!

** 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.
+ This bug is addressed in linux-backports-modules-hardy; please install
+ it before posting to this bug report complaining that your LED doesn't
+ work:
+ 
+ :~$ sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-hardy
+ then:
+ :~$ sudo rmmod iwl4965; sudo modprobe iwl4965
+ or:
+ :~$ sudo rmmod iwl3945; sudo modprobe iwl3945
  
  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.
- 
- 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".
+ a) you are informing about changes made to code or packaging.
+ b) you find a duplicate bug.
+ c) the backports modules don't fix your LED
