I have just finished testing this on a clean install of Intrepid Alpha
(loaded from Alpha 5 DVD) with all updates applied as of 9/26/08. I've
tried this with both the out of the box config and with "options ipw2200
led=1" in /etc/modprobe.d/ipw2200.

Using the default config the WiFi LED never lit no matter what I tried.

Initially after adding in the led=1 option and restarting the LED was
not lit. After pressing the key combination (Fn-F2) to turn the wireless
radio on and off the Wifi LED lit. At this time the radio should have
been off. Network manager still sees the wireless card as available and
keeps trying to associate to my WiFi router. Turning the radio back on
(Fn-F2 again) leads to the network manager successfully completing the
connection and the WiFI LED is still lit.

I have this installation on a separate HDD so I can test this further on
request. I plan to keep this installation around strictly for testing
for at least another 1-2 weeks.
