I recently decided to upgrade to 2.6.24-23 along with the Hardy backports (linux-backports-modules-2.6.24-23-generic), so I _had_ to find a solution to the blinking LED.
Erich Schubert's blog gives a good workaround: http://blog.drinsama.de/erich/en/linux/2008052101-iwlwifi-blinking.html For more info, refer to the kernel documentation: Documentation/leds- class.txt During this round of research, I noticed that my submission is closely related to launchpad bugs 176090 and 250211, so you can close or merge mine if you want. Also, Intel is tracking a similar driver enhancement request here: http://www.intellinuxwireless.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1771 After reading Erich's blog, I took a look at my system here: cat /sys/class/leds/iwl*/trigger The following were the default selections: /sys/class/leds/iwl-phy0:RX/trigger [phy0rx] /sys/class/leds/iwl-phy0:TX/trigger [phy0tx] /sys/class/leds/iwl-phy0:assoc/trigger [phy0assoc] /sys/class/leds/iwl-phy0:radio/trigger [phy0radio] Writing 'none' into the RX and TX trigger files did not disable the blinking for me, however, "echo none>/sys/class/leds/iwl- phy0\:assoc/trigger" works. Putting this into a script in /etc/network /if-up.d/ is also handy.
