I've found a fix for the original bug (thanks to Bob Copeland): in kernel sources, go to drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath5k/led.c and change line 80 from:
{ ATH_SDEVICE(PCI_VENDOR_ID_HP, 0x0137b), ATH_LED(3, 1) }, to: { ATH_SDEVICE(PCI_VENDOR_ID_HP, 0x0137b), ATH_LED(3, 0) }, Save and recompile the ath5k module. After reloaded the module, simply execute the workaround (it just changes the triggers) described at the top of the bug report, so: echo none > "/sys/class/leds/ath5k-phy0::tx/trigger" echo phy0radio > "/sys/class/leds/ath5k-phy0::rx/trigger" will make wifi status to be shown properly by the led (the second parameter in ATH_LED macro represents the polarity of the pin). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/972604 Title: 168c:001c [HP Compaq Presario C700 Notebook PC] Wireless led button doesn't switch colors To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/972604/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
