Hi I am trying to get tleds going.

Quote:
* net-analyzer/tleds
Available versions: 1.04-r1 1.05_beta11
Installed: 1.05_beta11
Homepage: http://www.hut.fi/~jlohikos/tleds_orig.html
Description: Blinks keyboard LEDs indicating outgoing and incoming network packets on selected network interface


I have emerged it and had a look in /etc/conf.d/tleds. There was nothing much there apart for what network device to use, which I set to eth0.
So next I ran /etc/init.d/tleds start and it started with no problems, only it does not work. My keyboard's leds are not affected by network traffic at all.

I have searched but it seems as if nobody on this forum or others has ever mentioned this app.

If anyone has used it, is there something I am supposed to do which I am missing?


Thanks

Hmm, it seems to run just fine here with kernel 2.6.11-gentoo-r11.
I just emerged it and run /etc/init.d/tleds start and my leds started blinking.
Try this and see if there are any errors.
Code:

tleds eth0 -b

Setting keyboard LEDs based on changes of Receive/Transmit

Maybe I should try on a different keyboard see if that works.
