There's likely another mechanism to enable it on ath5k, but I don't know what it is.
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.
Is there a led device in /sys/class/leds associated with the wireless card? (I have neither a AAO, nor a ath5k device, but if there was something upstream-ish, that would be where to look)
No, the directory was empty. It does turn out that the LED is connected with the MadWifi module. Upon blacklisting ath5k and install MadWifi, I saw that I suddenly had a bunch of sysctl variables for it. :)
Thanks to all, I'd never imagined that it was associated with MadWifi and had always figured it was the 2.6.26 vs. 2.6.27 kernel--the reason being that since the 2.6.27 had ath5k, I'd never used MadWifi with it.
