OK, let me rephrase. It may by true that from a low-level point of view there exists some traffic all the time. But let's see it from user's point of view. With 2.6.26 I connected to network during which the led was blinking. After the connection was established, it stopped blinking and was just on. Then when I started downloading something (wget http://server.com/foo.bar), it started blinking and shortly after the download was completed, it stopped to be just "on" again. I consider this a very reasonable behavior. With 2.6.27 it is blinking really all the time, whether the user is consciously downloading/uploading some data or not. The main problem is that such periodic non-stop blinking is very eye catching and it draws your attention away from the things you are actually doing. So I really believe this is a regression. One more reason, even though I'm not sure if I should even bring it up - on MS Windows it behaves more or less in a similar manner as with 2.6.26 kernel. Now I'm far from saying that things should work the way they work on Windows but in this case I think they actually have it right.
