kernel linux-2.6.35.4 on iBook mid2005

root@ibook:/sys/class/leds/pmu-led::front# cat
/sys/class/leds/pmu-led\:\:front/trigger
none [ide-disk] phy0rx phy0tx phy0assoc phy0radio

thus is already setted for ide-disk but i suppose that using new PATA
driver it 'd be different... we need another option.

@Elimar

you cannot overwrite but you can tune it.
e.g. to use the led to blink when your airport ext. receives something:

# echo phy0rx > /sys/class/leds/pmu-led\:\:front/trigger
# cat /sys/class/leds/pmu-led\:\:front/trigger
none ide-disk [phy0rx] phy0tx phy0assoc phy0radio
