compaq laptop wireless button


Since upgrading my kernel to 2.6.32 the wireless buttons behavior has changed.
Before, when I pushed it, it changed colour from amber to blue but didn't actually do anything to the wireless card (the wireless stayed on).
Now when the laptop is started, the light turns blue by itself and seems to flash to amber then back while there is wireless data transfer.

My question is, is this a new kernel feature or some type of fault with the button.
