I can connect to my wifi fine, but when it is connected the led light to indicate if I am connected to the network keeps blinking. When I disconnect it stays solid. My network is hidden and has a MAC filter. I also want to add that I contacted my internet provider and ruled out them as a problem. Because my connection is 45 Mb/s wired but 16 Mb/s wireless. Where as when I had Windows 7 my average wireless speed was between 35 Mb/s and 40 Mb/s

Here is a summary of some of my specs on my hp pavilion dv6000

This helped me to get rid off blinking led: http://www.tomdesair.com/blog/2012/04/stop-the-blinking-wireless-led-in-linux/

Open terminal and type:

sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/wlan.conf

This will create a new file and open it in text editor. Add this text into file and save it:

options iwlwifi led_mode=1

Now restart your system or reload the WiFi driver using:

sudo -i

Give your password and then give:

modprobe -r iwlwifi && modprobe iwlwifi
