[Bug 250211] Re: Intrepid: WLAN LED blinks incessantly on iwl3945 laptop
I see the blinking on Intrepid. It seems to have a funny pattern, like if traffic for (n=0; n<5; n++) led on for 250 ms; led off for 250 ms; As opposed to just blinking in direct correlation to traffic, like the led on the back of an ethernet adapater. if packet blink for 10 ms try ]$ ping google.com and you will see what I mean. So I agree, the blinking serves little informative purpose (it does not relate very well to actual traffic) and that makes it annoying. For me, either a solid led or blinking on actual traffic would be preferable. ** Summary changed: - Intrepid: WLAN LED blinks incessantly on iwl3945 laptop + Intrepid: WLAN LED blinks incessantly on iwl3945 | iwl4965 laptop -- Intrepid: WLAN LED blinks incessantly on iwl3945 | iwl4965 laptop https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/250211 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Hi Mario. Are the firmware files distributed in the linux-ubuntu- modules* package, right?

Marcos, I did not have this problem, my wireless worked automatically with 2.6.27. Maybe you are missing some metapackage? Anyway, I'd like to make another correction, in case that's somehow important: the light does not blink "all the time", as I wrote. Instead, it alternates between blinking and steady states. Often it's steady for a minute, possibly more. At other times it's blinking a lot. I can see no obvious rhythm or correlation with anything, though. -- Intrepid: WLAN LED blinks incessantly on iwl3945 laptop https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/250211 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Well, I think I figured out what was missing: /lib/firmware/2.6.27-1-generic/iwlwifi-3945* files But there is no linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.27-1-generic package available yet and I just copy the files manually.

The Ubuntu Kernel Team is planning to move to the 2.6.27 kernel for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. As a result, the kernel team would appreciate it if you could please test this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. There are one of two ways you should be able to test: 1) If you are comfortable installing packages on your own, the linux- image-2.6.27-* package is currently available for you to install and test. --or-- 2) The upcoming Alpha5 for Intrepid Ibex 8.10 will contain this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. Alpha5 is set to be released Thursday Sept 4. Please watch http://www.ubuntu.com/testing for Alpha5 to be announced. You should then be able to test via a LiveCD. Please let us know immediately if this newer 2.6.27 kernel resolves the bug reported here or if the issue remains. More importantly, please open a new bug report for each new bug/regression introduced by the 2.6.27 kernel and tag the bug report with 'linux-2.6.27'. Also, please specifically note if the issue does or does not appear in the 2.6.26 kernel. Thanks again, we really appreicate your help and feedback. ** Tags added: cft-2.6.27 -- Intrepid: WLAN LED blinks incessantly on iwl3945 laptop https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/250211 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
