OK, you solve this, but, can you solve wifi led problem in wl or brcmsmac module?

In reply to Mikael Svensson. Thank you Alex and Mikael! Your combined efforts cured my Dell D620's obnoxious blinking :-)

This tip did not solve the problem on my HP nc6400. However, “lsmod” showed me that “iwl3945” and “iwl_legacy”, rather than “iwlwifi”, was in use.

In the end I had to issue these commands to get the flashing LED to stop blinking:

sudo echo “options iwl_legacy led_mode=1” > /etc/modprobe.d/iwl_legacy.conf

sudo modprobe -r iwl3945 && sudo modprobe iwl3945

Thanks Mike. Of course, I should have realised that you can’t sudo the echo command as the output is still in the normal user’s shell. I ran it as root and added sudo when publishing, but should have sanity-checked…

I’ve updated the post.

Thank you
This seems to have done the trick, and my annoying wifi light is no longer blinking in 12.04 on my HP dm4-2070us (Intel Centrino N-1000 wifi)

I had to su to root in order to echo the line you recommended into /etc/modprobe.d/wlan.conf (error when attempting via sudo). modprobing iwlwifi also threw some errors, just had to run each part of your second line separately and all was well.

For anyone scared off by errors similar to mine, here is the path I took to make this work in 12.04. Attempt at your own risk
$sudo su #echo 'options iwlwifi led_mode=1' >> /etc/modprobe.d/wlan.conf #exit $sudo modprobe -r iwlwifi $sudo modprobe iwlwifi
