Let me explain my thoughts: Ubuntu is trying to be a Desktop OS as it's target, and the WiFi LED is important under a desktop environment. Ubuntu primary Desktop environment is Gnome, so if we want a consistent user interface we should be consistent with the UI, inside the desktop and outside with the hardware. A la Apple, be consistent.
I think that the blinking light is useless. There are people who likes it, there are who don't. A kernel run-time option us fair for me, but that's a upstream decision. Let's think that this kernel option exists: What will be the default behavior? My idea is: Be consistent with the UI: Gnome. Be simple and intrusive. -- WiFi / WLAN LED not working on notebooks with Intel iwl4965 | iwl3945 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/176090 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
