i have tested Hardy 8.04 on a X61 with iwl3945. the wifi LED does not
work. i used self-compiled compat-wireless drivers to get the LED. did
not try the backport kernel.



network-manager should still see wireless networks available if you are
connected to wired LAN, unless the wifi card is disabled/module
unloaded.
