           Summary: Wifi LED on Thinkpad X201 (iwlwifi) always blinking
                    since 5ed540a
           Product: Drivers
           Version: 2.5
    Kernel Version: 2.6.39-rc
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
              Tree: Mainline
            Status: NEW
          Severity: low
          Priority: P1
         Component: network-wireless
        AssignedTo: drivers_network-wireless at kernel-bugs.osdl.org
        ReportedBy: chronoss at gmx.de
        Regression: Yes


On my Thinkpad X201, since commit 5ed540aecc2aae92d5c97b9a9306a5bf88ad5574
("iwlwifi: use mac80211 throughput trigger") the behaviour of the Wifi LED has
changed in an annoying way.

Before, it blinked only if there was data traffic; otherwise it stayed on.
After said commit, when joining a WLAN it is turned on and shortly after starts
to blink. Then it never stops blinking (until leaving the network). And if
there's data traffic it blinks even faster. This is /very/ distracting, and
counterintuitive (blinking should only occur on traffic).
