The card is working fine, but the wireless LED on my laptop is always on. No matter if i disable the wifi device via NetworkManager or "rfkill block all". I set the iwlwifi led_mode parameter to 1 (and to 2 for testing), but this didnt do anything to the LED, it was constantly on. Id like it to be off when the wifi device is disabled. This is a log of dmesg: # dmesg | grep iwl[ 3.955915] iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: irq 46 for MSI/MSI-X [ 3.965170] iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: loaded firmware version 18.168.6.1 [ 3.972206] iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: CONFIG_IWLWIFI_DEBUG enabled [ 3.972211] iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: CONFIG_IWLWIFI_DEBUGFS enabled [ 3.972213] iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: CONFIG_IWLWIFI_DEVICE_TRACING disabled [ 3.972216] iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: CONFIG_IWLWIFI_DEVICE_TESTMODE disabled [ 3.972218] iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: CONFIG_IWLWIFI_P2P disabled [ 3.972221] iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: Detected Intel(R) Centrino(R) Advanced-N 6235 AGN, REV=0xB0 [ 3.972302] iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: L1 Enabled; Disabling L0S [ 3.992851] ieee80211 phy0: Selected rate control algorithm 'iwl-agn-rs' [ 4.977782] iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: L1 Enabled; Disabling L0S [ 4.985059] iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: Radio type=0x2-0x1-0x0 [ 5.359698] iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: L1 Enabled; Disabling L0S [ 5.366473] iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: Radio type=0x2-0x1-0x0 I verified the led_mode parameter is set correctly with : # cat /sys/module/iwlwifi/parameters/led_mode 1 I am running openSuse 12.2 x64 with Kernel 3.9.3-10.g06ad9d8-desktop.
