848299	2010-01-13 05:16:00	Well, it's not that noobish, but I'm sure the answer will be obvious to those in the know. I got myself a d-link wireless router, and was playing round with telnet on it, and I noticed that under /dev, there's an object (dunno if it's a file or a folder or what, I can't cd to it or cat it is all I know) called led. Would this be referring to the 8 led's on the front panel? And if so, what commands would control the behavior of the leds? Or am I reading way too much into this? Google was absolutely useless. Specifics; MontaVista Linux, D-Link DSL-G604T Gen 2, running BusyBox.	ubergeek85 (131)

848303	2010-01-13 22:24:00	Seems fairly straightforward. You can set the LED action depending on the state of each module. What do you want it to do?	fred_fish (15241)
848304	2010-01-14 01:49:00	Well, it's not led.conf I'm worried about, I want manual control over the LED's, ie; I can type cat < /dev/led 0. Or is this not possible?	ubergeek85 (131)
848305	2010-01-14 02:28:00	contact dlink and find out	Speedy Gonzales (78)
848306	2010-01-14 02:41:00	Well, it's not led.conf I'm worried about, I want manual control over the LED's, ie; I can type cat < /dev/led 0. Or is this not possible? Try looking at man led. If it is not in your manpages, look at this one from Debian (manpages.debian.net).	vinref (6194)
848307	2010-01-14 02:55:00	No man in busybox :(, but that link helped quite a bit, I'll try a few things in it Thanks. As for contacting dlink, I have serious doubts that I'd get through to anyone who even knew what I was on about, let alone had the knowledge to share.	ubergeek85 (131)
