No, the directory was empty. It does turn out that the LED is connected
with the MadWifi module. Upon blacklisting ath5k and install MadWifi, I
saw that I suddenly had a bunch of sysctl variables for it.  :)

Thanks to all, I'd never imagined that it was associated with MadWifi
and had always figured it was the 2.6.26 vs. 2.6.27 kernel--the reason
being that since the 2.6.27 had ath5k, I'd never used MadWifi with it.

Buffy: Okay, that was too close for comfort. Not that slaying is 
ever comfy, but... you know what I mean.
