Hi,
I know there have been several threads about the issue that I will be talking about, but studying any of these hasn't lead to a working solution for me.
I recently purchased a Dell Latitude E6400 and installed Intrepid on it today. Everything is working just fine, but unfortunately the wifi LED is constantly blinking to indicate network traffic rendering my laptop almost inoperable because it is so distracting.
As has been suggested in another thread I put the following script in /etc/network/if-up.d/ and made it executable.
Code:
#!/bin/sh
if [ "$IFACE" = "wlan0" ]; then
for dir in /sys/class/leds/iwl-phy*X; do
echo none > $dir/trigger
done
fi
This is what /sys/class/leds/iwl-phy0\:RX/trigger and /sys/class/leds/iwl-phy0\:TX/trigger look like after disabling and enabling networking:
Code:
xian@lothlorien:~$ cat /sys/class/leds/iwl-phy0\:TX/trigger
[none] AC-online BAT0-charging-or-full BAT0-charging BAT0-full mmc0 phy0rx phy0tx phy0assoc phy0radio rfkill0
xian@lothlorien:~$ cat /sys/class/leds/iwl-phy0\:RX/trigger
[none] AC-online BAT0-charging-or-full BAT0-charging BAT0-full mmc0 phy0rx phy0tx phy0assoc phy0radio rfkill0
Before setting up the above script, "none" wasn't in square brackets, though I have no idea as to what that means.
However, the wifi LED is still blinking annoyingly.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Sir Galahad
