Just a couple of things before you use this, the script has to be run
as root, but the hotkey functions run things as you. I tied this script
to the hotkey fn+f2 which is what turns on and off the card on my
machine. Ubuntu only supports setuid binaries, not scripts. They do
this for very good reasons, and you should read up on setuid root and
its implications before using this. That is why there is a small binary
that then runs the script that does the work. Quite honestly the way I
have implemented this is a horrible hack, but it works. Realize also
that if your card reads out different codes in any way you could end up
with a script that unloads the module at incorrect times.<br>
<br>
It would be great if someone actually new what the state codes from the
card meant instead of just guessing like I have. If someone does,
forward them my way and I will attempt to implement this properly in a
binary and without massive security issues.<br>

<div>I fiddled with this a few weeks ago. I have seen several
people post about this problem. I think it is primarily that the led
feature is not really functional. It has nothing to do with anything
but whether or not you have turned on the led. If you turn off the
card, the light stays on, etc. I wrote a very ghetto script that
actually read the state from the card and attempted to set the led
state by either removing the module (only way to turn off led) or
setting the led. The script works, but is real ghetto and has a lot of
missing cases because its all shell scripting (which I suck at). If you
like I will send it your way. I don't have it at my current computer,
so drop me an email (direct) if you want it.

Hey Matt,<br>
<br>
I'll take you up on the offer of your script :) . My curiosity is
getting the better of me.<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance.<br>

<div>Hi guys,<br>
<br>
I've just setup dual-boot between Dapper and XP, installing Dapper from
the "Deskop" CD on my HP NC6000 laptop.<br>
I have to say I was extremely impressed with the installation, having
everything work out of the box, including <br>
wireless, using the ipw2200 driver. The only thing missing was the LED
light for my wireless card not lighting up<br>
when I activated the wireless interface. After searching a few forums
someone suggested adding the option: <br>
<br>
options ipw2200 led = 1<br>
<br>
to "/etc/modprobe.d/ipw2200" .<br>
<br>
This file doesn't exist on my system, however I did make the necessary
entry in "/etc/modprobe.d/options"<br>
and after a reboot, the wireless LED lit up as soon as the interface
came up. This makes me happy :) . <br>
Question is, do I accept this to be a "cosmetic" bug which I can live
with, or should I file it as a bug on Launchpad? <br>
I haven't seen this logged as an issue on Launchpad by anyone else yet.<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance. <br>
