[TriLUG] ethernet ports on Linksys wrt54g are autosense

[Dave Sorenson]

Most non-geeks don't care about blinkin lights (except at Christmas). They
want an appliance they can plug in and forget about without having to worry
about configuring, checking, testing, experimenting with etc.. Why do you
think there are so many open WAP's in neighborhoods. It's not because it's
hard to set up security, it's because people are too lazy to RTFM. I for one
want all the blinky bling bling I can get! ;)

It looks like I'm behind the times. 

Is not having link LEDs part of the happy future too?
