So Ubuntu 11.04 was release a few weeks ago and I decided to upgrade this weekend. In prep for the upgrade, I backed up my laptop onto my external portable hard drive that I may need (my home dir, and a few other things in /etc, some cronjobs, etc.). I then did a clean re-install from CD. In the past the ugrade-in-place has taken a long time, and was not completely problem free. Whereas the last time I did a clean re-install it was pretty much problem free- except getting all my personal files/configuration/settings the way I like them all back took some time. So that is the same approach I decided to take with this upgrade.
Its only been 2 days since I upgraded on Friday and I just remembered that the little LED on my laptop for wireless networking blinks now as the default behavior. Ugh!!! So stupid. I remember going bonkers about this last time. However, the solution I used last time isn't going to work now since things have changed in the new version of Ubuntu.
So... this is how I fixed it this time. I created a file in /etc/modprob.d/ called wlan.conf and added this one line to the file:
root@spencer-laptop:~# cat /etc/modprobe.d/wlan.confoptions iwlcore led_mode=1
And then I rebooted, and BINGO! No more flashing light for wireless! Yay! And the was much rejoicing.
My wife and I flew to Seattle April 14-17 so we could go to a concert. :-) We went to see Paul Simon as he kicked off a new tour, and we went to the first concert of the tour. It was at the WAMU theater, which is part of Qwest Field in Seattle (Qwest Field is where the football team Seattle Seahawks play).

The concert was soooo good. We really enjoyed it. I wanted to remember what he played so with the help of my wife, we wrote down the songs from memory. Here's the playlist from the concert, although- we may have missed a song or two and it is not in order:
