just more nonsense - I put Mint Rosa on the X2001 Frankie from emeraldgirl08 and have been doing the usual chores to get to where it's comfortable for me.

id est, I don't like the distraction of the wifi LED constantly blinking. and there's an easy fix - just put:

options iwlwifi led_mode=1

into someplace like
and reboot or reload the module.

it may be different for your version / OS - do an lsmod to see if maybe your driver is iwlcore or iwlagn instead. but the parameter is still basically the same.

Been there. I didn't realize there was a difference until I dual booted back into Windows 7 and noticed the LED was solid. The command and file to write to might be slightly different if you are on Arch or Debian, or if your distro uses systemd or not. I've gotten it working right on each different distro I've tried, including Ubuntu and the aforementioned distributions.
