Ubuntu

wifi light acts weird

Asked by Arnold Niemann

Binary package hint: firefox

i have a compaq presario cq-60 215dx.
i upgraded my ubuntu os from 9.10 to 10.04 LTS beta 2. Libc6 package.
i have noticed my wifi light, the light that shows that my network connection is on used to stay orange in ubuntu 9.10. As i first started to use the 10.04 LTS, it actually went blue but often changes to orange... depending on wifi traffic, thus changing from orange to blue, back and forth. The internet connection still works but the light just acts funny every 5 mins or so. i thought id point this out so that maybe that can be fixed when the final version comes out.

Actually, the light is supposed to be blue. It's likely that the kernel is Karmic didn't have fully updated drivers for your hardware, but Lucid does.

Can you help with this problem?
