I found some neat stuff, and it works great!

The wifi led on my X61 is not working by default in ubuntu 8.04, so I decided to try and get it working. I found a trick to make it blink on transfer!

I wrote how to do it on thinkwiki. Down the page under the X61 headline.

good work!

this also happens by default in newer 2.6.26 kernel (i.e. 8.10) -- I generally use newer kernel by doing something like:

Code: Select all

echo 'deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ intrepid main restricted universe' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/intrepid.list
sudo aptitude update
sudo apt-get -y install linux linux-generic linux-headers-generic linux-image-generic linux-restricted-modules-generic
sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/intrepid.list
sudo aptitude update

... I kind of got used to the led not working and now that it does I have to say I find it a little annoying!
