I'm really annoying by that led - how can I stop it at my ThinkPad ?

Turn off

Any chance to turn off only the blinking but let the led be on or off depending at the state of /net.wlan0 ?

Thx.
I deselected CONFIG_IWLWIFI_LEDS to get rid of this led at all.

Argh, with kernel v2.6.33-5070-g64ba992 it is back again and it seems that w/ this version it cannot be deselected, isn't it ?

Try the patch here:

I'm surprised it's not mainlined already.

Yeah, that's what the patch does -- looks like it's already in your sources.

thanks for pointing this out - not blinking is nicer!
