Well, blinking on traffic is pretty much standard behaviour for wireless
LEDs and network activity indicators in general, no ? Anyway, the rate
of blinking is not very high, at least on my hardware. I remember when I
used the older ipw3945-driver, the blinking-rate was totally
out-of-whack sometimes, so it's an improvement. I have the light below
my screen, but it's almost next to the HD-led anyway, so it's just
another bulb added to the X-mas-light party and my mind easily ignores
it.
As for disabling the led blinking, I see no options for that in the
iwl3945 module, nor any of the modules it directly depends on.
