Been looking for a solution to this problem (and would not find it). The LED from my Intel WireLess blinks every time it has work and it was bothering me lots. Finally, after searching the internet, I found this method, that worked pretty fine on openSUSE 11.3…
No scripts, no files… Just enter on the command line:
# echo "options iwlcore led_mode=1" >> /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf
# rmmod iwlagn
# rmmod iwlcore
# modprobe iwlcore
# modprobe iwlagn
Hope it works for you as well. Enjoy!

The developers go to a lot of effort to get the LED to show what is happening.
Too bad you didn’t like it.
Certainly did not see that one coming… And never saw it that way either.
Maybe it bothers me because the laptop that has the 5100 WLAN came with Windows 7. And since I had to stick to it and the LED did not blink, I got used to the not-blinking LED. Anyway, it was hard for me to fix it, and in other threads among the internet I saw several users that would not like the LED blinking, and they could find my thread interesting. I find the blinking not so elegant indeed.
