git blame Documentation/networking/README.ipw2200 826d2abe (James Ketrenos 2005-11-07 18:56:59 -0600 315) NOTE: The LED code has been reported to hang some systems when commit 826d2abe9945372c8838398bfd88a1caa5844d41 Author: James Ketrenos <jketr...@linux.intel.com> Date: Mon Nov 7 18:56:59 2005 -0600 So, based on the fact that information was added in late 2005 and we're now in 2009 and I've not seen any crash reports related to LED being enabled I think we should push this forward. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => In Progress ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => TJ (intuitivenipple) -- Wifi-enabled led is not lit on ipw2200 cards https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/21367 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
