Thanks for your report. Is the wlan led relying on wifi card's
driver ? mine is an Atheros card (not the original X31 card), so I
should look at ath5k's driver… I remember now that with madwifi's
driver, we could specify some gpio where led can be drived, I've to
look for similar stuff in ath5k !
with regards,
Fred.
