Ok, I got it, but something strange is happens. The good settings seem
to be:
sc->led_pin = 1;
sc->led_on = 0;
But when I try to generate some traffic I noticed the led is not well
behaving. So I tried to turn off the RX trigger:
r...@moth:/sys/class/leds/ath5k-phy0::rx# echo none > trigger
and everything seems ok: when I send a packet, like an icmp ping, the
led blinks once, as expected. So I tried to invert the situation,
turning on the RX led trigger _only_. What I get is that, if the led of
off and I send a packet, it turn on, and remains lit until I send
another packet. For example, I can turn on the led with a ping -c1, and
it stays on until a do another ping -c1 (or wait enough time, I think
it's wpa_supplicant exchanging packets).
This sounds strange, is seems that something is handling the tx and rx
event differently. Do you have any ideas?
Little off topic: I see in gpio.c that there is some support for an
RFKill gpio interrupt. Is this supposed to work? The kill switch does
nothing on my system.
