Hi Johannes, John, This patch changes the mac80211 LED driver to use the generic oneshot LED API.
The current mac80211 blink code seems to lead to very short tx blinks and toggles the LED on tx. The oneshot API ensure a complete LED on-off cycle for each blink event, thus getting a better result for an activity indicator: one visible blink for sporadic events and a steady on-off blink sequence on constant traffic. Would you consider this patch for wireless-next?
