 On 1.75 B1 laptops, the network activity indicator flashes at a constant
 rate when the XO is associated with a network (ad-hoc or AP-based does not
 matter).

 The rate is appears to be a 2 Hz on/off cycle similar to a VCR flashing
 12:00.  No change in rate is seen based on forcing the card to
 send/receive network data, or possibly even scanning (except very
 briefly).

 This turns the network activity indicator into a bit of a flashing idiot
 "connected" light which is distracting and largely meaningless, as we
 could be connected to an AP, automatic Ad-hoc, etc. and it will flash the
 same way all the time.  If possible we should try and avoid this.
