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.  Thanks Erich!
