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 ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 2+ messages in thread

You may be seeing that enabled by default. Adrian ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 2+ messages in thread
