LED as Wifi indicator

2008-04-22 Thread Sam Collyer
Don't know whether this is a stupid question or not but I'd like to be able
to see if their is a wifi conection I could connect to without the screen
being on, is it possible (has it been done) to get the LED to flash more
rapidly or brighter if Wifi is accessible, just a way of scavenging for wifi
signals without wasting batterys checking the screen. (sorry if I should
just have added it to the app wish list)
