I'm trying to set the blink mode for iwlwifi on Debian 8.
I have created iwlwifi.conf in /etc/modprobe.d and added options iwlwifi led_mode=1, but this is not affecting the activity light.
The firmware is installed as part of firmware-iwlwifi/oldstable.
Any advice is appreciated.
The device in this instance is an iwl4965.
The correct way to disable the LED on this device is options iwlegacy led_mode=1
Hopefully, this will be useful for anybody trying to disable this activity on Debian 8 Jessie.
I have a iwl3945 and to get the LED to blink, I needed to create the file:
/etc/modprobe.d/iwl3945.conf
with content
options iwl3945 led_mode=1
After this, I needed to:
sudo -i
modprobe -r iwl3945 && modprobe iwl3945
