In windows, orange indicates wireless hardware switch is off, white indicates wireless hardware switch is on.
When disconnected and/or connected to a network in the ON state, the light stays white and does not flash. I won't be able to test any potential changes to fix it as I don't have Linux on this laptop anymore. -- 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/1201671 Title: [HP Pavilion dv6-4008tx Entertainment Notebook PC] Wireless key light constantly flashing when connected Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Expired Bug description: Hi, The wireless light at FN+F12 is alternating between white and orange all the time when connected to a wireless network. When disconnected but wireless is enabled it stays white and when wireless is disabled it turns orange. This behaviour doesn't seem correct. Suggested behaviour: When wireless is enabled (i.e. connected/disconnected but enabled) it should stay white. When wireless is disabled it should stay orange.
