Hi again,

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.
