[SOLVED] Blinking LED after update iwl3945

After I had updated Arch on my notebook yesterday, the LED of my Wi-Fi card started blinking again and putting "options iwlcore led_mode=1" in modprobe.conf doesn't work any more.
Is there a different way to stop the blinking now?

Module for Wi-fi card - iwl3945
Kernel26 after update - 2.6.39.1
linux-firmware - 20110512

I should have mentioned that I tried "options iwlagn led_mode=1" as well but it doesn't work because only iwl3945 and iwl_legacy are loaded.

Had this for a while, for me the blinking stops if I enable bluetooth, but that might be specific to my HP8510. If either wifi or bluetooth is turned off, my LED is annoyingly present

Try checking your wireless modules for an appropriate parameter with:
systool -m $MODULE -av

Thanks egan, I used that command on iwl_legacy and found out that it has the same option for the led as iwlagn. So for those that have a "legacy" card which uses iwl_legacy instead of iwlagn:

echo "options iwl_legacy led_mode=1" >> /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf
rmmod iwl_legacy
rmmod iwl3945
modprobe iwl_legacy
modprobe iwl3945

and the blinking stops.
