Public bug reported: The proprietary Broadcom STA driver used in Natty properly activated the wireless status light on an Acer Aspire 7552G-6436 using a BCM43225. No special settings were required to enable the light, and it worked properly by switching off when the hardware was switched off (using Fn-F3) and switching back on when the hardware was switched on (using Fn-F3 a second time). In Oneiric, the light is no longer available in any state.
