Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: tleds

As noted on the tleds website http://users.tkk.fi/~jlohikos/tleds/ to a
minor extent, tleds may disable some keys on keyboards of certain
systems.

I can reproduce this on an IBM A31 laptop with Ubuntu Feisty which is up
to date at date of posting.  I'm not sure why, but tleds was installed
and on at boot.  When the NumLock LED blinks in tune with the Ethernet
port's TX/RX, it DISABLES the normally accessed with the Fn key, under
the 7,8,9,u,i,o,j,k,l, etc. keys.  So, if downloading a file at a
continuous rate, about 40% of my keyboard is disabled.  While the Scroll
Lock LED does blink, it seems to have no adverse effects, although I
can't be certain.  After killing tleds, problem no longer persists.

Website suggests the last update to it was 2005.  I suggest it not
install itself by default, or at the very least, not start
automatically.
