>From the datasheet, "The RTL8111E supports customizable LED operation modes via IO register offset 18h~19h". I haven't spotted anything setting this in our driver so perhaps it's initialized to strange values by the BIOS. "Standard" behaviour is for the link led to blink when it has link at any speed, or "when this LED is high for extended periods, it indicates that a link problem exists". The datasheet is also annoyingly silent about the register config for jumbo frames.
