Well, you can try passing various led= options to the module, but I am unsure as to if there is anything other than boolean values available (0,1) for ON or OFF completely ... to be honest, I hate that mine blinks when active, I actually turn mine off (led=0) passed to the iwl3945 driver
But this has been an issue on various kernel versions, try a newer kernel with a subsequently newer driver or try the intel proprietary driver

Yes it does work with the fix in or not.
The wifi had no such problem when I was using gutsy(and older versions) so I believe this is something to do with hardy.

I can live with the blinking led as this is the case on vista.Why Dell "forgot" to put a wifi switch I can't understand.
Where can I download the intel driver for linux?

Most distros have working pre-packaged drivers already in their repositories, however the main page for the 3945 is at:
