Just to understand: what is that green light for anyways? (yup, noob

It depends on the device manufacturer, but usually it means something
like: both sides can talk to each other and successfully negotiated
a link
speed and duplex setting.
is this on a hardware level, or can the OS have anything to do with
it?
hmm... fine line given that drivers interface the OS with the hardware
(by definition).
Example: you use your OS to set duplex settings, the driver sets it up
in the hardware. I don't think there's a way to control the lights
themselves from the OS though if that's what you mean.
