@Adam Porter: Exactly. I thought I had addressed this in my response, but yours is even clearer. @mac_v: Blinking is the default behavior in several other laptops [in Windows also - I have used many laptops (I work in IT) and have *never* seen one who's default wireless light behaviour is to flash the user visible light all the time. Even on Windows. #176090 appears initially to be about the light being off (as opposed to doing something), but later turns into 'it used to flash, now it is steady'. My experience over a number of versions has been the light went from always-on to always-off to flashing-always to fixed-with-the-help-of-the-script-here. Therefore the correct fix for everyone would be to keep this configurable but default it to how it was i.e. always-on or the more useful always-on-when-connected-flash-when-connecting-off-when-disconnected. I'm not sure what you mean about all the different laptops manufactured need to be matched. Either change the default in the kernel source with a Ubuntu-specific patch, or add the scripted commands via the laptop-mode package (etc. etc.). The 'cat' is harmless if the files don't exist, but it's trivial to check for the files existence first, for instance. -- Intrepid: WLAN LED blinks incessantly on iwl3945 | iwl4965 laptop https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/250211 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This appears to be a bug exclusive to /sys/class/leds/iwl- phy0:assoc/trigger. As Volker mentioned here (2008-11-08), if you run the following command: sudo echo phy0assoc /sys/class/leds/iwl-phy0\:assoc/trigger the LED will behave as expected, until the network reconnects again. That is all my Ubuntu computers (mostly Dell) need, and it appeared in Intrepid and now Jaunty releases. For some reason, even though that parameter is shown as phy0assoc (cat /sys/class/leds/iwl-phy0\:assoc/trigger), it is NOT (apparently, it's phy0tx or phy0rx) and must be set after the interface scripts have connected the link. I poked around some of the various scripts, but have not found an automatic fix -- maybe someone with more knowledge will know how to include this at the right place in the networking scripts. It's sad that such an annoying problem cannot be resolved and integrated more quickly. I created a little script file to do this for me, but I have to run it every time I connect to a network -- on the positive side, I can quickly notice if my WiFi link was dropped while I was away. :-) Doug -- Intrepid: WLAN LED blinks incessantly on iwl3945 | iwl4965 laptop https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/250211 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Hi Tom, No it does not work for me; there is a change to the iwl-phy0:assoc LED after those scripts are run. The LED controls (/sys/class/leds/*) are re-symlinked when a WiFi connection is brought up or taken down. The physical devices /sys/devices/pci:00/:00:1c.3/:06:00.0/leds/iwl-phy0:* (on my machine) are not the same ones as from a previous WiFi connection (even though they are the same names), so I believe the problem lies in HAL or UDEV. I think that after a link is brought up (and after all the if-up.d scripts are run), the /sys/devices/ are re-created and it's that process where iwl-phy0:assoc is set to indicate it's configured to [phy0assoc], but is actually set to [phy0rx] or [phy0tx], causing the LED to blink during link activity. That's my guess as to why scripts in if-up.d/ don't fix the problem.

Same problem on this Dell E1405 which has the bright blinking wireless light right beneath the screen. I've tried all of the suggestions to make the blinking stop, but none have worked - other than using an older kernel but I don't really want to do that. The light should turn on when the wireless card is enabled and turn off when the wireless card is disabled. The bars on network manager tell you that you are connected. Putting a blinking light in front of the user is not a good human factors design.

Because blinking automatically lets the human eye focus stuff. And my led is on my Dell Notebook, just under my screen, I was very annoyed by it. I'm really crestfallen this is rated as low out of several reasons (may be a little offtopic). 1) This are the things people notice when trying out a new operating system (linux instead of windows) and they rate all of linux bad to this. 2) To some degree they are right.

I know this doesn't seem like an important issue to anyone that has a laptop with a less in-your-face LED, but to users with this type of laptop this is an important issue (the duct-tape workaround doesn't work for me either, because the LED is right in the hinge, which makes it impossible to duct-tape and also makes sure the LED blinks even when the screen is closed). -- Intrepid: WLAN LED blinks incessantly on iwl3945 | iwl4965 laptop https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/250211 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Being the author of the much quoted http://blog.drinsama.de/erich/en/linux/2008052101-iwlwifi-blinking.html and since I just also received an email about this issue, here are some comments. First of all, **give changes 5 seconds to take effect**. When blinking was triggered, it will continue to blink for some seconds, even after you disable the trigger. Secondly, there is a good reason why I did not echo to radio and assoc. If you re-read the end of that post: It will still blink when connecting (leds:iwl-phy*:assoc) and indicate if the connection is available (leds:iwl-phy*:radio). Blinking while trying to connect to a wireless network is good (association state). I'd like to have the LED flashing when the network connection is currently not working right. P.S. I believe the driver authors have removed the flash-on-every-packet behaviour of the LED to reduce load.

Thierry Carrez's analogy with the wired network light is false, as that light is almost always hidden away around the back of a machine. Wireless lights almost never are, however, and any thing flashing in the eye line is going to draw attention. As such, it should only blink if something unusual has happened.

I think the best approach is to reduce the long off/on cycles that are grabbing attention, to replace it by a steady on LED with an off flicker on traffic (what the wired network LED does). That's the spirit of Mike Stroyan's patch, above at comment 20.

[Bug 250211] Re: Intrepid: WLAN LED blinks incessantly on iwl3945 | iwl4965 laptop
The functionality to use the LED is a brilliant thing; yet I agree that
the default usage is not optimal.
Judging from `cat /sys/class/leds/iwl-phy0:{RX,TX}/trigger`:
[none] ide-disk BAT0-charging-or-full BAT0-charging BAT0-full AC-
online mmc0 phy0rx phy0tx phy0assoc phy0radio rfkill0,
the LEDs can be used for quite a few things.
I suggest using the none behaviour as default (this could easily be
set as a releases wide standard) by making use of the interfaces in
/sys/class/leds/iwl-phy0:RX/trigger
and
/sys/class/leds/iwl-phy0:TX/trigger
as described in
http://blog.drinsama.de/erich/en/linux/2008052101-iwlwifi-blinking.html

As a workaround I have stuck a folded scrap of paper over the light with a bit of sticky tape. -- Intrepid: WLAN LED blinks incessantly on iwl3945 | iwl4965 laptop https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/250211 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 250211] Re: Intrepid: WLAN LED blinks incessantly on iwl3945 | iwl4965 laptop
This is happening on my HP DV2915nr laptop since upgrading to Intrepid Ibex. The l.e.d. is dual color (orange blue) and is alternating between them when traffic is passing across it. It is solid blue when there is no traffic and orange when the switch for the wireless is turned off or the wireless has not come up yet from boot/sleep. It was solid orange all the time in Hardy and under Vista it was orange when not active and blue when it was linked up to the W.A.P. This is very annoying as others have pointed out. ~$ uname -a Linux -laptop 2.6.27-7-generic #1 SMP Fri Oct 17 22:24:21 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux lspci: 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Mobile PM965/GM965/GL960 Memory Controller Hub (rev 0c) 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0c) 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0c) 00:1a.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) USB UHCI Controller #4 (rev 03) 00:1a.1 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) USB UHCI Controller #5 (rev 03) 00:1a.7 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) USB2 EHCI Controller #2 (rev 03) 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03) 00:1c.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) PCI Express Port 1 (rev 03) 00:1c.1 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) PCI Express Port 2 (rev 03) 00:1c.2 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) PCI Express Port 3 (rev 03) 00:1c.3 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) PCI Express Port 4 (rev 03) 00:1d.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) USB UHCI Controller #1 (rev 03) 00:1d.1 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) USB UHCI Controller #2 (rev 03) 00:1d.2 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) USB UHCI Controller #3 (rev 03) 00:1d.7 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) USB2 EHCI Controller #1 (rev 03) 00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801 Mobile PCI Bridge (rev f3) 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation 82801HEM (ICH8M) LPC Interface Controller (rev 03) 00:1f.1 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801HBM/HEM (ICH8M/ICH8M-E) IDE Controller (rev 03) 00:1f.2 SATA controller: Intel Corporation 82801HBM/HEM (ICH8M/ICH8M-E) SATA AHCI Controller (rev 03) 00:1f.3 SMBus: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) SMBus Controller (rev 03) 05:00.0 Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E8039 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller (rev 14) 07:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] Network Connection (rev 02) 08:09.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Ricoh Co Ltd R5C832 IEEE 1394 Controller (rev 05) 08:09.1 SD Host controller: Ricoh Co Ltd R5C822 SD/SDIO/MMC/MS/MSPro Host Adapter (rev 22) 08:09.2 System peripheral: Ricoh Co Ltd R5C843 MMC Host Controller (rev 12) 08:09.3 System peripheral: Ricoh Co Ltd R5C592 Memory Stick Bus Host Adapter (rev 12) 08:09.4 System peripheral: Ricoh Co Ltd xD-Picture Card Controller (rev ff) Please let me know if there is more information you need to fix this bug.

The workaround is alright, but it disables the LED. I want it to actually show a state, just not by blinking. :D -- Intrepid: WLAN LED blinks incessantly on iwl3945 | iwl4965 laptop https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/250211 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This happens on my Hardy-running Dell Inspiron 1525 (iwl3945) too. And yes, I'm now using the workaround, because steady is so much better from a user experience point of view - I don't need my attention drawn to something that works - that's like the Windows 'wow, plug and play has worked, let me tell you about every little step I take' popup when you connect a USB stick. -- Intrepid: WLAN LED blinks incessantly on iwl3945 | iwl4965 laptop https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/250211 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

In addition to making the blinking less obnoxious (what a goal), it would be nice to be able to turn it off entirely. -- Intrepid: WLAN LED blinks incessantly on iwl3945 | iwl4965 laptop https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/250211 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I agree with others that the blinking is annoying, especially on the HP dv5000 which has a really bright wifi led. Either turn it off completely or turn it on, don't let it blink. -- Intrepid: WLAN LED blinks incessantly on iwl3945 | iwl4965 laptop https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/250211 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Mike: I wanted to try out your patch, but I couldn't compile the driver. It's a bit off-topic, but what am I doing wrong? I retrieved the kernel source (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelGitGuide), installed the build utilities, did make net/drivers/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl3945.ko, copied the drivers to /lib/modules/2.6.27-6-generic/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi, but it says: FATAL: Error inserting iwl3945 (/lib/modules/2.6.27-6-generic/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl3945.ko): Invalid module format (This is an unpatched kernel, I wanted to try building the driver first) -- Intrepid: WLAN LED blinks incessantly on iwl3945 | iwl4965 laptop https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/250211 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 250211] Re: Intrepid: WLAN LED blinks incessantly on iwl3945 | iwl4965 laptop
I had a look at the new Tx/Rx blinking and made changes to make it less annoying for me as seen with the big bright LED on my HP dv5000. The really distracting part is the slow blinking with long periods of off and on. I changed the driver to have uniformly short off_time values of 10 in the blink_tbl array. That gives a little flicker when there is network activity without a really distracting effect. The off times could be set even lower to make the blinking barely discernable. I have attached a patch that implements the change. If other folks think that is more like they want I could try pushing this upstream. ** Attachment added: Patch to make blinking less obnoxious http://launchpadlibrarian.net/18304734/iwl3945blink.patch -- Intrepid: WLAN LED blinks incessantly on iwl3945 | iwl4965 laptop https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/250211 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
