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. Because that is what it used to do:
turn the LED off and on for every single packet.
