Comment(by mikus):

 What is needed is to have someone actually INSERT the LED-commands in the
 appropriate spots in the software.  [This is probably too intrusive a
 change to be contemplated for 8.2.0.]

 --------
 Given that "what is happening with the mesh" is now being shown in the
 Frame, the following are my Sep 2008 recommendations for how those lights
 should be used:

  -  Left light:  'Steady On' when a connection exists to the internet
 (e.g., a public server with an IP address reachable over the internet can
 respond to a request to that address made by this XO).  'Slow Blinking'
 between the time when connection to an AP is attempted, and the time when
 that connection enters a state of "connected", or enters a state of
 "connection failed, no longer trying to connect".  'Off' when the chips in
 the XO are not in a state to transmit data to a destination which (barring
 problems) can be expected to exist on the internet.

  -  Right light:  'Medium Fast Blinking' while data (but not merely
 protocol headers) is being transmitted/received over the radio in the XO.
 'Off' otherwise.
