Thanks. Quick questions:
Is this behavior expected or unexpected? What led you to report it as
a bug? Is it desirable or undesirable? Have you been having other
problems with the ath5k driver?
In principle an LED indicating the rx/tx rate could be a nice thing,
but if it is distracting or counterintuitive or related to other
problems then not so much. Hence the question.
Hope that helps,
Jonathan

Hi,
So there's a hardware MAC LED blink thing that can be done. You may be
seeing that enabled by default.
