Router Wifi Lights

I just installed Kong's DD-WRT firmware installed on my Nighthawk & love it.  So much better than the Netgear stock firmware.  I do have an issue or question through.  The 2.4GHz & 5Ghz Wifi LED lights no longer flash when there is activitiy on the Wifi bands as they should.  Is this a bug in the firmware or is there an option somewhere to turn it on?  I have searched through all the menu options & don't see an option anywhere.

No this is no default behaviour. Netgear added a hack to the kernel code that makes them flash.

Asour kernel supports multiple units we usually don't implement hacks for a single unit.

Oh I see.  Ok thanks Kong for the explaination.  So the bottom line is by default those LEDs will not flash unless a hack is applied for a specific unit.  Thanks again for all your hard work on the DD-WRT code.
