First you have to find out what wifi driver you are using. It's most likely iwlwifi, or the previous version called iwlagn. Just do a "lsmod | grep iwlwifi" or "lsmod | grep iwlagn" to identify what driver you are currently using.
Then edit /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf or iwlagn.conf, whatever suits you. If it doesn't exist, it's ok, just create it. Then add the following line:
options iwlwifi led_mode=1
Now, restart your computer, or simply just gain root privileges and do a:
modprobe -r iwlagn && options iwlwifi led_mode=1 && modprobe iwlagn
