[gutsy]wireless disabled & wireless led still keep blinking

[ijkn]

Hi,

The wireless LED light(wireless status) does not work correctly on 7.10 in my Dell 640m laptop. After wifi function disabled, wireless LED still keep blinking at interval of 2 seconds. I have done a quick test by enabling and then disabling the wireless function in knetworkmanager. Surprisingly, the LED kept blinking even much more quickly without stop(go crazy...)after the wireless function disabled. I had to restart the system. it now keeps blinking at interval of 2 seconds as usual after the system is rebooted.

I always turn wireless off to save power if the wireless function is not used. My laptop has no hardware switch to indicate wireless status, so the LED light is the only hardware to indicate the wireless status. I am using Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG and 2.6.22 on gutsy with all updates.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Is this symptom still reproducible in 8.10?

I have the same behavior of the wireless LED on my Thinkpad R51. Everything was fine in feisty and hardy. The problem was only introduced with an upgrade to intrepid and still exists in jaunty.

maybe related to bug #102757?!

I am using Ubuntu 9.04 on HP dv6700 laptop. While connected through wireless, my wifi indicator continuously blinks(red/Blue) while sending and receiving from internet. While in idle state it remains blue.

Hi hk88s,

Please be sure to confirm this issue exists with the latest development release of Ubuntu. ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ . Please then run following command from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p linux-image-`uname -r` 157418

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The package your reporting is updated and the issue should be reproducible with the live environment of the Desktop CD development release - Maverick Meerkat. It would help us greatly if you could test with it so we can work on getting it fixed in the next release of Ubuntu. You can find more about the development release at http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/. Thanks again and we appreciate your help.
