[Bug 972604] Re: 168c:001c [HP Compaq Presario C700 Notebook PC] Wireless led button doesn't switch colors

 

Yes, the wifi led blinks between red and blue, indicating network
activity, in place of indicating wifi status. For example, it blinks
heavily when loading a web page (it appears purple because of the
speed). My workaround relatively because colors are reversed (as
described at the top of this report).

Yes, wifi works when led blinks also. Your last test kernel removes the
regression (but the original bug exists yet).

Title:
  168c:001c [HP Compaq Presario C700 Notebook PC] Wireless led button
  doesn't switch colors

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  I'm using Lubuntu 11.10 Oneiric Ocelot. My wifi chip is supported from
  ath5k drivers. The led button blinks between red and blue light and
  its pressure does anything.

  WORKAROUND: I tried to type:
  echo none > "/sys/class/leds/ath5k-phy0::tx/trigger"
  echo phy0radio > "/sys/class/leds/ath5k-phy0::rx/trigger"

  and in this way I can control the color of the LED. But the problem is
  that the colors are reversed: it should be red for wifi off and blue
  for wifi on, but it is rather the opposite!
