David Dombrowsky, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better.
Regarding the LED blinking when WiFi traffic is occurring, while you may find this annoying, and it could be many others find this also, this being the default action it isn't considered a software bug. Given the fact you have an option to turn it off in software, you also have a way to address the issue as you see fit. If anything, the LED light installed into the laptop would be brighter than preferred, making this a manufacturer design issue you have. Please feel free to report any future bugs you may find. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1621725 Title: iwlegacy/iwl3945 driver flashes LED on traffic by default Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: This bug is still present in 16.04. When using the iwlegacy driver, the default behavior is to have the blue LED indicator flash whenever traffic is going over the wireless. This is annoying, as it is in the user's face on most laptops. The workaround is to add something like this to a new file named /etc/modprobe.d/iwled.conf options iwlegacy led_mode=1 I suggest that this mode be the default, and require a configuration change to ENABLE the flashing.
