I'd like to note (as said in duplicate Bug #252150) that blinking on traffic is bad behavior in terms of usability.
A blinking LED (or GUI element, ...) is hard to ignore, and will in most humans gain focus constantly, and annoy them. Both "having traffic" as well as "being connected" are standard cases for a network interface, so in those standard cases there is no need for the interface to request focus by blinking the LED. On the other hand, the LED can be allowed to blink (not rapidly) when there is no connection, which is usually an unwanted case. The comparison to ethernet adapter LEDs can be considered - however, those are usually out of sight of the operating user, while WLAN LEDs are usually in sight. -- 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
