@Tom Chiverton : & Axel Kittenberger :
I use 2 laptops, The Acer Aspire 5670 series[5672WLMi], In this laptops led *does blink* , for the network indication. That is its default.
While my Dell doesnt blink in Windows!

Just because you havent seen a laptop which doesnt blink, doesnt mean you've seen them all !

Also , you can see there are several other laptops listed in Bug #176090 ! I can only assume that they are also not lying!

I'm not sure why you guys *even think* that people have to misrepresent themselves ! The blinking was never a feature request!

@Tom Chiverton:
Further, *a hardware specific issue is not a papercut* .
Even thought it affects /many/ , it is not the problem with majority of average users.

You seem to be aware of the way to fix this issue, kindly provide a patch, which could be incorporated in the kernel.

This is just not a papercut , but still a valid bug!
No one has said it wont be fixed! it needs to be fixed!
