What Laurent said is partially true, the LED is by default controlled by  
the hardware. However, there is a way of influencing the behavior of the  
LED. There is an extension unit control that allows to set the LED to  
states like On, Off, Blinking, and Auto. The latter one is just the  
default.

I'll try to write up the necessary information in a quick spec and then  
post it. I may take me a few days though before I'll get around to do it,  
so if you're in a hurry feel free to drop me a quick e-mail and I can give  
you some raw information.

Cheers,
Martin
