wifi lights not working on dell inspiron 6000

[Steve Stalcup]

Wifi led will not work on Dell inspiron 6000.

please install linux-restricted-modules.

does the wifi card work at all?

Have you configured this in the bios not to show?

[Steve Stalcup (vorian)]

linux-restricted-modules installed.

wifi works out of the box, bios does not spec led for wifi light.

that's weird, it's working on my dell inspiron 6400...

Is this wireless card an ipw2200? Check the output of `lsmod | grep ipw2200`

If so, see the solution at bug 21367.

this worked

Wifi Status LED can be made to work easily by editing /etc/modprobe.d/ipw2200.
i.e. 'sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/ipw2200' add the following text to it, save,
and after your next reboot you will have a functioning blue LED. 'options
ipw2200 led=1'

thanks for the tip andrew :)

Glad you got it working, Stephen!
