Problem with old behavior is, you can not really differenticate the
state of interface being down and device being idle after assoc.

 flashes constantly (with a fixed period of perhaps 2Hz) whenever I am 
 associated to an AP, and does not give any indication of whether there is any 
 TX/RX activity.  Is this the intended new behavior?

Yeah, you will see slow constant flash when the device is idle, but when
there is any (heavy) tx/rx, you should be seeing the blink rate
going high accordingly.

 (If so, may I vote for a 
 return to the old behavior?)

we got few complaints about the old behavoir ;).

[ath9k-devel] LED behavior

2009-02-11 Thread Andy Neitzke
Hi,

I am using ath9k and wpa_supplicant with an AR5418 on a Thinkpad X61.  With 
recent wireless-testing the behavior of the wireless LED has changed.  The 
old behavior was that, after association was complete, the LED would light up 
only when there was some TX/RX activity.  The new behavior is that the LED 
flashes constantly (with a fixed period of perhaps 2Hz) whenever I am 
associated to an AP, and does not give any indication of whether there is any 
TX/RX activity.  Is this the intended new behavior?  (If so, may I vote for a 
return to the old behavior?)

Best, and thanks,
