Hi all,

I recently acquired a Netgear WNDR3800. To date I've been playing exclusively on an alix 2D13 platform so I have a few new things to learn. In any case, I've been tinkering with the LEDs and I'm having some trouble getting my head around a few things. Specifically:

1. How does one accurately control the WAN LED? /etc/config/network has this:

config switch_port
    # Port 5 controls the configuration of the WAN LED and the
    # section does not correspond to a real switch port.
    #
    # To toggle the use of green or orange LEDs for the WAN port,
    # see the LED setting for wndr3700:green:wan in /etc/config/system.
    #
    # See the key above for switch port 1 for the meaning of the
    # 'led' setting below.

    option device        rtl8366s
    option port        5
    option led        2

Supposedly this controls the orange WAN LED. However, setting "option led 0" does not turn the LED off as indicated. It stops blinking but it doesn't turn off. How do I turn off the orange LED?

2. Why is the orange component of the WAN LED configured/controlled via /etc/config/network yet the wan:green LED is controlled via /etc/config/system? Is there some reason I'm not immediately understanding? Is it because the orange LED for WAN isn't listed under /sys/class/leds? This would lead me to believe that this is controlled via some different mechanism than the green LED on the hardware.

config led 'led_wan'
    option name 'WAN LED (green)'
    option sysfs 'wndr3700:green:wan'
    option default '0'

3. Along with #2, why is the green LED pre-configured in /etc/config/system by /etc/uci-defaults/leds on first boot? The preconfiguration doesn't actually do anything. What is this for? Am I missing something?

4. The wifi adapters, ath9k-phy0 and ath9k-phy1 apparently default to the respective "phy[0|1]tpt" trigger. This also isn't in /etc/config/system. It seems to happen elsewhere, but I haven't found the place that controls this. How is this accomplished? Is this some ath9k driver default?

Any input / insight would be most helpful.

Thanks in advance,
Adam
