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
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.
Those who don't want this feature should
That might help, but really, it is nevertheless horrible UI design. The
computer should tell me if something is wrong, not alert me all the time
(not even with a less intrusive flicker) that everything is fine.

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.

I have the same problem with a Thinkpad R61i. As a workaround I have
stuck a folded scrap of paper over the light with a bit of sticky tape.

This is happening on my HP DV2915nr laptop since upgrading to Intrepid

The workaround is alright, but it disables the LED. I want it to
actually show a state, just not by blinking. :D

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

In addition to making the blinking less obnoxious (what a goal), it
would be nice to be able to turn it off entirely.

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.

Oi, I forgot: I copied /boot/config-2.6.27-6-generic to the kernel's

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
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
Same problem here, on HP6910P. Intel's wifi.
Very very annoying.
