[Soekris] net48xx Error LED and detecting a 48xx under Linux

Hi all,

I'm planning on writing an LED class driver for the net4801 error LED, so just 
wanted to get more information about a few things.

Which Soekris devices have the error LED mapped to the same GPIO pin as the 
4801? Is it just the 4801 or does the 4826 work in a similar manner? What about 
the 45xx series?

Is there a way of detecting what type of Soekris machine we're running on? It 
would be nice to write a proper probe routine for the functionality since we 
don't want to randomly twiddle GPIOs on non-Soekris devices. I've looked into 
DMI but that doesn't seem to exist. Any ideas?

Many thanks,
Chris
