LED control is either a kernel driver thing or a platform driver thing; that's not something that NM itself controls, since it's not usually modifiable, or if it is, the people that care are fine putting the logic into simple scripts they can run from the dispatcher or rc.local or such. It may be that the brcmsmac driver doesn't yet export LED control information. But note that sometimes the LED is controlled by the BIOS on the laptop, especially in cases when the LED represents more than one radio. So this is probably a better question for kernel development lists ([email protected]) than NM. Same thing for the power draw actually :) Dan _______________________________________________ networkmanager-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
