Broadcom BCM57780 Nic lights not working (same as 2.0.3) *PATCH*
-
I have been building a few HP thin clients ( HP t5720, t5730 and t5740 ) and turning them into Pfsense routers I like the form factor and performance while being light on the power usage. I have a new batch of thin clients that I was loading up and I noticed one odd thing, I usually have the built in nic be the WAN port and on this new group when the WAN configuration is coming up it turns off the link lights, both of them, link and activity.
I originally posted here - http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,63116.0.html after more research it appeared to be a freebsd based issue so I posted on there forum http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=40207
It was on my to-do list to open a PR and submit the issue but appears that one of the FreeBSD dev has already applied a patch to the upstream code see the next to the last post or
Recently I fixed the non-working traffic LED on BCM57780\. The fix would be available with the upcoming 9.2-RELEASE. Note, I didn't merge the change to stable/9 or stable/8 yet. But I guess you can manually apply the patch from the following URL: http://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/head/...1733&r2=252227
Is there anyway I can get the patch applied to the lates 2.1 train so I can have working nic lights in the future? Thanks :)

Thanks Jimp, I will see what I can figure out regarding the patch format, I'm a linux guy but I will give it a whirl, thanks. :)
