[Soekris] Howto enable Net5501 error-led on Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid

[Joerg Schoppet]

Just for information

Here is how I get the error-led on Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid to work

# modprobe cs5535_gpio major=252 mask=0xffffffff
# mknod /dev/error_led c 252 6

Turning on error_led:
# echo 1 > /dev/error_led

Turning off error_led
# echo 0 > /dev/error_led


The only thing is, that, at least for myself, it is not possible to
read-out the state of the error_led.
# cat /dev/error_led
0iOTPd

Regardless if error_led is on or off.
