[ltp] wifi modules: new problem

[Bob Alexander]

I am not able to turn off the wifi LED anymore on my T40 with my current 
configuration (2.6.11-rc3).

Modules still get loaded and unloaded with my Fn+F5 (ibm-acpi 0.10) keys.

Up to my latest kernel (2.6.11-rc2) all seemd to work as I wanted:

ath_pci was excluded from the discover module and the atherhos madwifi 
group of drivers was loaded and unloaded by the following script:

#!/bin/bash
lsmod | grep ath_pci
if [ "$?" == "0" ]; then
  modprobe -r ath_rate_onoe
  modprobe -r ath_pci
  modprobe -r ath_hal
  modprobe -r wlan
else
  modprobe wlan
  modprobe ath_hal
  modprobe ath_pci
  modprobe ath_rate_onoe
fi

Now when I unload the light does not turn off anymore even though lsmod 
and iwconfig all agree that the wifi interface is present or nto present.

Any ideas ?

TIA, Bob


Here is my lsmod after toggling off the wifi but the LED is still on:
