This ancient bug seems to still affect old laptops when they are
resurrected using ubuntu 16.04.  Running the iwl3945 wireless driver on
this HP laptop will result in the LED blinking on traffic.  Adding the
module option fixes the problem.  I find it hard to believe that isn't
the default for all drivers.

Title:
  WLAN LED blinks incessantly on iwl3945 | iwl4965 laptop

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in linux source package in Lucid:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Since upgrading to Intrepid, the WLAN LED of my HP nc6000 blinks all
  the time instead of simply being on.

  Bug #176090, which is about the LED not working at all in Hardy, seems
  to suggest that the blinking might be intentional, "Note, however,
  that[the fix for Hardy] does not behave the same way as it used to.
  The light will not blink on and off, but will be steady."

  However, the blinking is (a) highly distracting and annoying for no
  gain whatsoever, and (b) it does not blink in Windows, either.
