wifi card question (ubuntu)

hi,

i have the firmware for my wifi card.
and ndiwrapper is set up with the right drivers.
it works, but when i start my system the led's don't start blinking.
i did exactly he same as on my debian system ans on the debian system the led's start blinking when i boot the system.

the led's start blinking when i do dhclient however.
this is dmesg output after dhclient:

PHP Code:



[4294814.166000] eth1: resetting device... 
[4294814.166000] eth1: uploading firmware... 
[4294814.406000] eth1: firmware version: 1.0.4.3 
[4294814.406000] eth1: firmware upload complete 
[4294814.641000] eth1: interface reset complete 
[4294814.690000] eth0: link up, 100Mbps, full-duplex, lpa 0x41E1

[4294825.062000] eth0: no IPv6 routers present 
[4294825.093000] eth1: no IPv6 routers present

this is dmesg when i unplug the card:

PHP Code:



[4295263.852000] eth1: hot unplug detected 
[4295263.852000] eth1: removing device 
[4295263.852000] eth1: islpci_close () 
[4295263.913000] ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:02:00.0 disabled

then when i plug it in again the led's don'y blink anymore
this is dmesg ouput:

PHP Code:



[4295263.852000] eth1: hot unplug detected 
[4295263.852000] eth1: removing device 
[4295263.852000] eth1: islpci_close () 
[4295263.913000] ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:02:00.0 disabled

what do i have to do to make the led's blink when i insert the card or when the system boots?

Are you able to get on the internet? If so, why do you care whether or not your led's blink? I don't mean to seem callously insensitive, but really?

There are lots of icons you can put in your task bar that indicate activity over your connection. It may not be a perfect option, but maybe it will assuage some of the irritation you feel because your "led" lights don't work on your card...
