Disabling Wifi LED blink not retained upon reboot (systemd, tmpfiles)

I have followed the instructions laid out on the Wiki [1] on how to disable LED blinking, creating the file with the appropriate setting in /etc/tmpfiles.d/. However, the setting is not enabled/retained upon reboot. The LED keeps blinking happily.

Manually telling systemd to apply the rule works, and the LED's blinking is indeed disabled (until the next boot):

# systemd-tmpfiles --create phy0-led.conf

Is there something I missed?

What kind of wireless card do you have and what driver is it using? Passing it the correct parameter through grub should silence it without the help of systemd.

You can find a hint with the command:

lspci -vvv

I have that problem with a laptop wifi.  I created a systemd service that calls a script each time it boots, after network.service is reached...
the script  is a bash script, with two separate echo commands... which fixes it for me.  I will be happy to assist if you provide more info.
