Enabling the wireless radio LED on linux

anomit | July 12, 2007

I found this page on the madwifi wiki long ago, but then forgot ’bout posting it here. For those with an Atheros chipset card, this is for enabling the LED indicator so that you can be sure that the wireless interface is working.

For my Thinkpad R60, these were the lines I needed to enter in /etc/sysctl.conf

dev.wifi0.ledpin=1
dev.wifi0.softled=1
