Public bug reported:
In Ubuntu 8.10, the behavior of the wireless network indicator light has
changed for the Lenovo x61s. It is normal for network indicator lights
to strobe indicating traffic, but in 8.10 this behavior has changed from
a fast occasional strobe to a slow steady flash with even duty cycle,
approximately 3 flashes per second. Thus, while there is network
traffic, the wireless indicator light is in a constant state of slow
flashing which is rather annoying.
Expected behavior: the wireless network indicator light should maintain
a duty cycle where it is mostly on and occasionally flickers with
network activity. This was the behavior in previous versions of Ubuntu.
Workaround: place a piece of tape over the light to prevent nausea.
Kernel version: 2.6.27-7-generic
Network card: Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG
Using no proprietary drivers.
