iBook front led as wifi RX indicator

Wonders of Linux. With just one command as a root you can use the front led of iBook to do (almost) anything you want.
In the video I used: “echo phy1rx > /sys/class/leds/pmu-front-led/trigger” and “ping 192.168.1.140″ to generate traffic. To see other options just cat the same file.
