** Description changed:
The WLAN LED does not glow on recent Intel-based notebooks (including
Sony Vaio, Dell Inspiron, Lenovo Thinkpad and many others - we know,
please don't list yours here), using the iwl4965 or iwl3945 WiFi
drivers.
+
+ There appears to be a regression in the latest drivers in proposed,
+ specifically 2.6.24-20.38, where the LED does not blink at all, even
+ with backports installed.
This problem is fixed for Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy) in the backported kernel
modules. (Note, however, that it does not behave the same way as it used
to. The light will not blink on and off, but will be steady.) Please
install 'linux-backports-modules-hardy' before posting to this bug
report complaining that your LED doesn't work:
:~$ sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-hardy
then:
:~$ sudo rmmod iwl4965; sudo modprobe iwl4965
or:
:~$ sudo rmmod iwl3945; sudo modprobe iwl3945
- I'm logging the LED status at each milestone release on iwl4965 -
- there's really no need for anyone else to add to this bug report unless:
+ Please only add to this bug if:
a) you are informing about changes made to code or packaging.
b) you find a duplicate bug.
c) the backports modules don't fix your LED
** Changed in: linux-backports-modules-2.6.24 (Ubuntu)
Status: Fix Released => Confirmed
