I can connect to my wifi fine, but when it is connected the led light to indicate if I am connected to the network keeps blinking. When I disconnect it stays solid. My network is hidden and has a MAC filter. I also want to add that I contacted my internet provider and ruled out them as a problem. Because my connection is 45 Mb/s wired but 16 Mb/s wireless. Where as when I had Windows 7 my average wireless speed was between 35 Mb/s and 40 Mb/s

Here is a summary of some of my specs on my hp pavilion dv6000

  • What is the issue here; that you do not like the blinking lights when connected? – Anon Apr 20 '14 at 09:19
  • I guess I'm not used to it since it never did that before on windows. I rather fix the wifi issue over that I'd I had to choose – RevRend80 Apr 20 '14 at 17:13
  • Fair enough, but I would suggest you rephrase the question such that you ask how you would go about changing the behaviour of the blinking lights, just so it is clear to other users what you wish to accomplish. Otherwise; it looks like you got an answer :) – Anon Apr 21 '14 at 09:56
  • @RevRend80 Can you post the output of lspci -nnk | grep -A2 0280. The question lacks relevant info about the wireless card, and, on the other hand, is overloaded with irrelevant data. We don't need to know what printer you use to help with the blinking wifi led. – mikewhatever Apr 21 '14 at 12:48
  • Having the same issue as you also, Blinking lights and slow wifi speeds ever since new install of 14.04. The terminal commands above also fixed my blinking lights, Now its about speeding that wifi up a bit.... –  Apr 21 '14 at 21:24

This helped me to get rid off blinking led: http://www.tomdesair.com/blog/2012/04/stop-the-blinking-wireless-led-in-linux/

Open terminal and type:

sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/wlan.conf

This will create a new file and open it in text editor. Add this text into file and save it:

options iwlwifi led_mode=1

Now restart your system or reload the WiFi driver using:

sudo -i

Give your password and then give:

modprobe -r iwlwifi && modprobe iwlwifi
