Ah interesting--I'd thought it was in the 2.6.26 kernel, but not the
2.6.27.  I hadn't realized till I saw Anne's post that it was from
MadWifi.

I'm sure.  I've also looked but haven't found anything.  At one point, I
installed a vanilla 2.6.27 kernel and enabled everything with LED in its
name, but still had no luck.  That doesn't mean it's not there, just
that I didn't know where to look.
