Hi, Indeed gpio #3 controls the led. I patched ath5k to use it, and led works now fine. What I dislike is the way led blinks: While nether I like constant rate blinking implemented in windows driver, I don't like the fact that led blinks too fast, sometimes the blink time is so short that led doesn't show full brightness. I think there should be a minimal interval for blinking. Also I don't know what is assumed better, when led is always on, but turns off when active of vise versa? (Due to short intervals, when I set it for first option, it is almost always on, and I almost don't see the interval when it is off) Best regards, Maxim Levitsky _______________________________________________ linux-pm mailing list linux-pm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-pm
