Cas, please post the following terminal output as previously requested:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

** Description changed:

- I have set the wifi "options iwlegacy led_mode=1" in /etc/modprobe.d/wlan.conf to stop the led blinking, which works as expected. The problem I have found is that if I suspend the laptop then upon resuming the wifi led is permanently off yet
- the wifi still works properly.
+ The problem I have found is that if I suspend the laptop then upon
+ resuming the wifi led is permanently off yet the wifi still works
+ properly. Also it is not just suspend that affects the LED, using the
+ hardware wifi switch on the laptop results it the same problem that the
+ LED is permanently off after turning wifi back on. This is regression
+ going from kernel 2.6.38 (Natty) to 3.0 onwards.
  
- I noticed the same occuring in Precise but I think it was working in
- Oneiric.
+ WORKAROUND: I have set the wifi "options iwlegacy led_mode=1" in
+ /etc/modprobe.d/wlan.conf to stop the led blinking, which works as
+ expected.
+ 
+ WORKAROUND: To get the LED back on without rebooting reload the module:
+ rmmod iwl3945 && modprobe iwl3945
+ 
+ WORKAROUND: For the suspend issue is to add to /etc/pm/config.d/modules :
+ SUSPEND_MODULES="iwl3945"

Title:
  Intel wifi led is off after resuming from suspend

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  The problem I have found is that if I suspend the laptop then upon
  resuming the wifi led is permanently off yet the wifi still works
  properly. Also it is not just suspend that affects the LED, using the
  hardware wifi switch on the laptop results it the same problem that
  the LED is permanently off after turning wifi back on. This is
  regression going from kernel 2.6.38 (Natty) to 3.0 onwards.

  WORKAROUND: I have set the wifi "options iwlegacy led_mode=1" in
  /etc/modprobe.d/wlan.conf to stop the led blinking, which works as
  expected.

  WORKAROUND: To get the LED back on without rebooting reload the module:
  rmmod iwl3945 && modprobe iwl3945

  WORKAROUND: For the suspend issue is to add to /etc/pm/config.d/modules :
  SUSPEND_MODULES="iwl3945"
