 Two years ago I gave up on making sense of the LEDs.  It would have been
 nice if they had conveyed status information to the user -- but from my
 experience I concluded that an LED being 'on' or 'pulsing' or 'rapid
 blink' or even 'off' -- did NOT reliably mean anything.  Some (e.g., Kim
 Quick) were able to correlate LED usage with at least "wireless is
 working" -- but not I.

 My conclusion then was that the LEDs meant something to a Marvell
 diagnostician -- but not to an OLPC user.  If I was correct in observing
 that the LEDs did not reliably convey "state" -- why write a ticket now --
 to the best of my recollection, no new code (e.g., for LED usability
 improvement) has ever been added (in these past two years).
