[SOLVED] Wifi LED blinking with Realtek rtl8822be

Hello,

I wanted to ask if there is a way to turn off the blinking LED associated to wifi when using a Realtek rtl8822be.
(I know how to do it with an intel driver iwlwifi) but now I am using another driver (r8822be) and I can't find a way.

$ lspci -v
Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8822BE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac WiFi adapter
        DeviceName: Realtek RTL8822BE 802.11 ac 2x2 WiFi + BT 4.2 Combo Adapter (MU-MIMO supported)
        Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company RTL8822BE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac WiFi adapter
        Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 144
        I/O ports at c000 [size=256]
        Memory at dc300000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K]
        Capabilities: <access denied>
        Kernel driver in use: r8822be

Thanks a lot for your help

Re: [SOLVED] Wifi LED blinking with Realtek rtl8822be

Hello! I found a way to do it!!

Turns out there is a command:

 xset 

that lets you change several parameters, including the LED blinking on keyboard

So first find out which LED is which, for that I used

xkbvleds

  (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/X_ … _extension)

and then I used xset as follows

$xset -led 2 led off  #if you want to turn LED 2 OFF
$xset -led 2 led on  #if you want to turn LED 2 ON

Where 2 is the number associated to the LED you want to turn off or on

If you can find a more elegant way to do so.. let me know.
