Description Robert Lewis 2009-01-23 21:47:20 UTC

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.5) Gecko/2008121300 SUSE/3.0.5-2.5 Firefox/3.0.5

The LED blinking is very distracting and needs to be controlable.

The LED blinks when traffic goes through the wireless card. However you can
configure the LED behavior in /sys/class/net/wlanX/device/leds.

For example something like

echo none > /sys/class/net/wlanX/device/leds/*TX/trigger
echo none > /sys/class/net/wlanX/device/leds/*RX/trigger
echo none > /sys/class/net/wlanX/device/leds/*assoc/trigger

should deactivate the blinking while traffic is received or transmitted. Just
play with the LED triggers to get the desired behavior.

This is a work around for a few people not afraid to muck with such things
but a GUI user interface to turn this on/off will be needed for most people.
I think we need YaST options in the wireless network area to tune the
LED behavior.

This is a feature and as such, it should be handled via openFATE
