Stop blinking WiFi LED on Latitude D630 and Ubuntu

Forum post

Run the following using sudo:

For Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex:

#!/bin/sh
echo none > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/iwl3945/0000:0c:00.0/leds/iwl-phy0:assoc/trigger
echo none > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/iwl3945/0000:0c:00.0/leds/iwl-phy0:radio/trigger
echo none > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/iwl3945/0000:0c:00.0/leds/iwl-phy0:RX/trigger
echo none > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/iwl3945/0000:0c:00.0/leds/iwl-phy0:TX/trigger

echo none > /sys/class/leds/iwl-phy0:RX/trigger
echo none > /sys/class/leds/iwl-phy0:TX/trigger
echo none > /sys/class/leds/iwl-phy0:radio/trigger
echo none > /sys/class/leds/iwl-phy0:assoc/trigger


For Ubuntu Karma Koala you need to add extra colons (thanks to James Becwar!):

#!/bin/sh
echo none > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/iwl3945/0000:0c:00.0/leds/iwl-phy0::assoc/trigger
echo none > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/iwl3945/0000:0c:00.0/leds/iwl-phy0::radio/trigger
echo none > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/iwl3945/0000:0c:00.0/leds/iwl-phy0::RX/trigger
echo none > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/iwl3945/0000:0c:00.0/leds/iwl-phy0::TX/trigger

echo none > /sys/class/leds/iwl-phy0::RX/trigger
echo none > /sys/class/leds/iwl-phy0::TX/trigger
echo none > /sys/class/leds/iwl-phy0::radio/trigger
echo none > /sys/class/leds/iwl-phy0::assoc/trigger

On my D620 and Ubuntu 9.10 I had to add an extra colon to get it to work:

#!/bin/sh
echo none > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/iwl3945/0000:0c:00.0/leds/iwl-phy0::assoc/trigger
echo none > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/iwl3945/0000:0c:00.0/leds/iwl-phy0::radio/trigger
echo none > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/iwl3945/0000:0c:00.0/leds/iwl-phy0::RX/trigger
echo none > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/iwl3945/0000:0c:00.0/leds/iwl-phy0::TX/trigger

echo none > /sys/class/leds/iwl-phy0::RX/trigger
echo none > /sys/class/leds/iwl-phy0::TX/trigger
echo none > /sys/class/leds/iwl-phy0::radio/trigger
echo none > /sys/class/leds/iwl-phy0::assoc/trigger
