[ltp] Re: Wlan led with 2.6.31

[Jason Brooks]

I know that i can control it manually with sysctl

sysctl -w dev.wifi0.softled=3D1
sysctl -w dev.wifi0.ledpin=3D1

there are a few different options for ledpin. 0 was off or orange.
solid was 1 (can rember what 2 is) and 3 is blink blue and white
traffic activity.

I don't know if this helps at all. (But I think it may)
