I don't think basing stuff on position is reasonable. (And am not sure if making difference between MAC and PHY leds is good idea). Normally, there's ethernet port with two LEDs, one is usually green and indicates link, second being yellow and indicates activity, correct? On devices like ADSL modems, there is one LED per port, typically on with link and blinking with activity. Could we use that distinction instead? (id):green:link, (id):yellow:activity, (id):?:linkact -- for combined LED as it seems. Are there any other common leds? I seem to remember "100mbps" lights from time where 100mbit was fast...?
