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. -G -- Dell Inspiron WiFi light does not show on/off status https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/55780 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
