This one came to me as a surprise, I updated the kernel, and whoops, the
wireless led, blinks all the time!
It turns out that in splitted driver iwl3945 doesn't have any led
support, and indeed the light on my notebook doesn't change state often.
It ether doesn't light up at all, or just blinks at constant rate.

I have iwl3945.
