Did/does your left wifi led light up in linpus?

Mine used to (at least i think so, others have reported that it did as well), but when I switched to ubuntu it doesnt any more. I am trying to fix this but finding that some people's do not.
Mine lit up when the the wifi was on and turned off when the wifi was off.

If someone has this functionality can you please take a picture of it in both states and upload it. Also, it would be helpful to see your sysctl -a | grep led output when the wifi is on and when it is off.

 

If I Recall Correctly... my right light was the only one to have ever lit up... I thought it was kinda stupid that they'd put a left light on it that did nothing. Nope, left light never lit up... but then again I didn't keep up with the linpus updates as often as I should have.
Same thing with XP, even using the better atheros driver, still only one right light that worked.

 

I thought only the right light is for Wifi, the left LED supposes to be the WWAN light, no?

 

I have used Linpus exclusively and have all the updates. The left wifi light has never worked for me. Maybe those who have dismantled their A1s will know if there is physically a LED there?

 

same here... only the right led works (it was orange)

 

Same as the others: right orange LED for WiFi on.

I get the same result wether WiFi is on or off :?

sysctl -a | grep led

dev.wifi0.softled = 0
dev.wifi0.ledpin = 3
dev.wifi0.ledon = 0

 

Then it must be other setting that causes it to change.
In ubuntu we have softled set to 1, maybe that will cause it to be solid if it is 0.

edit: ok that didnt help. in ubuntu we do only have two of the keys though, maybe that has something to do with it
They are with their vaules.
dev.wifi0.softled = 1
dev.wifi0.ledpin = 3

 

you can turn the right led on with

Code:

sudo sysctl -w dev.wifi0.ledon=0

and off with

Code:

sudo sysctl -w dev.wifi0.ledon=1

I assume there will be another kernel parameter when the wlan card available and plugged in to set the left led

 

Correct
