Bug Description
I am using Xubuntu 8.04 on Acer laptop, which has a switch and a light for wireless network in the front of the computer. Light is on and I am supposed to be able to switch it on/off by the switch but nothing seems to happen. The light is on after I install restricted firmware for the driver.

If you press the wireless button on the laptop it does indeed disable the wifi radio... You can verify if you type dmesg from a command prompt. The light will not go out...
