There is a problem on my E1000, where when the wifi is turned on, some
LEDs/GPIOs are set and unset (the same ones every time). This is a
problem because there is one GPIO which turns on all the LAN/WAN LEDs
and (physically/electrically) disconnects all wired ports, thereby
breaking the wired network.

I confirmed this not to be an issue with any of the patches I used (2 of them:
one to make LEDs work for Linksys E1000
https://lists.openwrt.org/pipermail/openwrt-devel/2012-December/018112.html
and the bgmac patch
https://lists.openwrt.org/pipermail/openwrt-devel/2012-December/017850.html

this occured without them, and with trunk), and also made the router
be detected as a WRT160NV3, which has the same hardware, and already
has diag defined in trunk,  but this problem still occured. I also
verified that it is not an issue with /sys/class/led, since both leds
there, phy0 rx and tx, go to the wireless LED when triggered. Also I
tested /proc/diag, and that worked normally.

So I am guessing this may be because of some of these: 1) the wireless
driver, 2) something writing to the wrong hardware address, which
these GPIOs correspond to, 3) something else.

See https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?pid=179535#p179535 for
info about the GPIO mappings (or just see the patch for it, which I
linked to above).

By the way, the LEDs were working fine with stock firmware and with
ddwrt, so the router itself should be OK.

Thanks!
