[Bug 1201671] Re: [HP Pavilion dv6-4008tx Entertainment Notebook PC] Wireless key light constantly flashing when connected

 

Joseph Landers, could you please test the latest mainline kernel via
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.14-rc7-trusty/ and
advise to the results?

** Description changed:

- Hi,
- 
  The wireless light at FN+F12 is alternating between white and orange all
  the time when connected to a wireless network. When disconnected but
  wireless is enabled it stays white and when wireless is disabled it
- turns orange.
+ turns orange. This behaviour doesn't seem correct.
  
- This behaviour doesn't seem correct.
- 
-  Suggested behaviour: When wireless is enabled (i.e.
- connected/disconnected but enabled) it should stay white. When wireless
- is disabled it should stay orange.
- 
- Cheers,
+ In windows, orange indicates wireless hardware switch is off, white
+ indicates wireless hardware switch is on. When disconnected and/or
+ connected to a network in the ON state, the light stays white and does
+ not flash.
