Package: madwifi-source
Version: 1:0.9.2+r1842.20061207-2
Severity: minor
Hello,
with newer versions of the kernel and madwifi driver, the LED on my HP
nc6000 is on even if the wifi has been shutoff (with the corresponding
button on the laptop); this behavior didn't happen earlier and the LED
was off when the wifi was off, and on with the wifi on.
To be clear the button on the laptop doesn't deactivate the WLAN device
but does only deactivate the antenna (though it deactivates as well the
complete bluetooth device).
The issue appeared somewhere between madwifi-modules-2.6.16-2-686
0.svnr1644.0.9.0-2+2.6.16-17 and madwifi-modules-2.6.18-3-686
0.9.2+r1842.20061207-2+2.6.18-7, so that I don't know if it's due to the
kernel or the madwifi driver. But I need to start somewhere, don't I?
The bug is quite annoying because I have no easy way beside dmesg
(checking for the bluetooth device) to know if the wifi is on or off.
I would be already grateful for a way to properly find the culprit.
Thanks, Eric
