2006-08-09 13:38:07 Jonathan Jesse None: statusexplanation I just moved off my Dell Inspiron which had a light for both Wifi and Bluetooth. When activating the function key for Wireless it turns off the light for Bluetooth which disables the wireless card. This was under Kubuntu.

Thanks.

2008-08-12 21:23:28 Leann Ogasawara linux: statusexplanation Hi Guys, I'd like to try to gather some additional information regarding this bug. Can those still experiencing this issue with the latest Hardy Heron 8.04 release please comment which wireless driver you are using? Even though some of you may be experiencing the same issue, it really is specific to the driver you are using. There may also exist other possible fixes you might try (for ex installing linux-ubuntu-modules or linux-backports-modules) but again depends on which driver you have. Additionally, we'll keep this report open against the actively developed kernel bug against 2.6.20 and 2.6.22 this will be closed as it does not qualify for a Stable Release Update - http://www.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates . Thanks.

2012-03-28 22:03:08 penalvch description A light on the Dell Inspiron 6000 laptop under Windows will turn on when the WiFi card is on, and off when it's off. It is turned on/off by pressing two keys on the keyboard. These keys still work but the light is never on. For this reason it is possible to turn the wireless card on and off while trying to make it work by pressing these keys, without ever realising you are doing this or why it works sometimes and others not. The light should be made to work if possible. A light on the Dell Inspiron 6000 laptop under Windows will turn on when the WiFi card is on, and off when it's off.
