[Raspbian-devel] Suggestions for a Pi's Ethernet interface LEDs and tracking in /boot/config.txt.

[Stian Skjelstad]

The ethernet on the PI, is to my knowledge an external usb chip, so using
system gpio hardware is not possible. So it has to be a software
implementation of some sort. You have to poke inside the ethernet driver,
and probably patch it up a bit.

The ethernet led documentation you found, configures the PHY chip, which
has some gpio lines of its own for LEDs.
