    So people with Killer/Bigfoot cards have always noticed the WiFi light does NOT work in Clevo laptops and we always got told it was the bios not knowing how to interact with the light and these cards yada yada...

    Well, I just noticed something interesting... It's NOT the bios.

    In Windows my 1202 works but no light.

    Under linux, another story. The light actually works and toggles with the hardware.

    So we got told in the past it was a bios issue but this seems to lead that is not the case.

    Now that said I can't really say it is a driver issue neither as we can use generic intel drivers and the light works for intel cards not some special ones. Thoughts? Any way we can come up with a reason and fix it? Not that I care too much but if I have the LED would be nice if it worked lol

    Another thing that sucks, this card works like crap under linux.. The generic atheros drivers are unstable with this card and of course killer has no sources.
