Something I (still) don't like about this approach is that you cannot
make the LED flash on TX only (or CAR and DSR). Something like:

	led=/sys/class/leds/<led>/
	echo 1 > $led/TX
	echo 0 > $led/RX
	echo 1 > $led/CAR

would be a more flexible and IMHO nicer interface. (Maybe with improved
file names.)

Best regards
