wireless disabled & wireless LED still keep flashing

[ijkn]

Hi,

The wireless LED(wireless status) in my laptop does not work correctly on 7.10 in my laptop. After wireless function disabled, the wireless LED still keep flashing at interval of 2 seconds. I have done a quick test by enabling and then disabling the wireless function in knetworkmanager. Surprisingly, the LED kept flashing much more quickly without stop(go crazy...) even after the wireless function disabled. I had to reboot the system. It now keeps flashing at interval of 2 seconds as usual after the system is rebooted.

I am using Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG on kubuntu 7.10.
Has Anyone got the same problem?

Don't you have a switch for the wireless that you could just turn off?

forgot to mention...

My laptop has no hardware switch to turn wireless off. I only know how to turn the wireless off in knetworkmanager. I am using 2.6.22 on gutsy with all updates.

Next recommendation is to turn it off in the bios.
