Realtek RTL8192ce driver in natty's kernel does not correctly initialize the wireless LED (i.e. the LED doesn't work). The attached patch fixes the LED.

The original patch by Larry Finger was written for 2.6.39 and does not compile against natty's kernel: http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=130247823800466&w=2

A minor change to the patch fixes the compile error and enables the wireless LED. The change is discussed here: http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=130324790201204&w=2

Please consider using the patch. This wireless card can not be used in production systems without the LED working.
