I see the blinking on Intrepid.  It seems to have a funny pattern, like

if traffic
              for (n=0; n<5; n++)
                       led on for 250 ms;
                       led off for 250 ms;

As opposed to just blinking in direct correlation to traffic, like the
led on the back of an ethernet adapater.

if packet
            blink for 10 ms

try
]$ ping google.com

and you will see what I mean.

So I agree, the blinking serves little informative purpose (it does not
relate very well to actual traffic) and that makes it annoying.  For me,
either a solid led or blinking on actual traffic would be preferable.
