Description

There is now hardware support for LEDs on several embedded platforms, but there isn't much to do with them yet.

A forum user wrote (a long time ago) a daemon in C that will make tie an LED to network activity for a given interface:
http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,3454.msg21194.html#msg21194

It still compiles and runs on a new ALIX, so I'd like to eventually make a UI for that portion.

I was also thinking that in 2.0 we might be able to have LED1 flash when writing the config, or perhaps blink or flash a pattern when there is a system alert. (Morse code is part of FreeBSD's LED driver, you can echo 'm...---...' > /dev/led/led3 and it will repeatedly flash that pattern.)
