Disabling LED blink

Hello,

I'm not using the wifi card on my laptop and the led blinks erratically.  I'm using the iwlwifi driver and the wiki says you can disable it but doesn't actually say how. Can anyone explain it to me please?

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wi … _LED_blink

Thanks.

The wiki says to create a file called /etc/tmpfiles.d/phy0-led.conf, put "w /sys/class/leds/phy0-led/trigger - - - - phy0radio" there and run "systemd-tmpfiles --create phy0-led.conf".

Re: Disabling LED blink

The "older" method seems simpler to me, and it works perfectly here:

$ cat /etc/modprobe.d/wireless.conf 
options iwlwifi led_mode=1

Create that file, add that line, reboot, enjoy.
