I'm currently using the ipw3945 driver on FC6 on my laptop, and I can tell you that the LED support only reflects whether or not the wireless is connected or not. It seems silly. On my motherboard, and on an earlier kernel, there was something in the /proc filesystem which you could modify (write a 1 to turn the LED on, write a 0 to turn it off). It wasn't supported directly by the ipw3945 driver. Support software turned it on when the connection was established. I was never able to tell if the wireless enable/disable function key had any effect or if it just generated a keyboard event that should have been handled by software somewhere. (There is a similar email LED on this laptop as well, and the interface to both of them has changed since FC6 went to a 2.6.22 kernel, I had to update my email notification software to a BETA version to get it to work again.) In the latest FC6 kernel (2.6.22.9-61) this wreless LED is just lit when the connection connects. In any event, it never blinks for me as traffic is passed across the wireless connection.
