Network status LED off

[st0nec0ld]

The right back panel network LED is off, but network works!

The left is green blinking and shows activ communications.

Tested the version from https://wd.hides.su/fox_exe/WDMyCloud-Gen2/Debian/ the right status LED is fine.

Hey thanks for reporting this. I never thought about the second LED, what extra information does one gain?

I'd assume this is a difference in the kernel driver between linux kernel 4.x and 5.y but I am unsure. I have no active patches in that direction though.

It is called the "Link LED"

it still works anyway but it is not normal ^^

Yeah I am not sure why/where it breaks. I went all the way back to kernel 4.15 and the led was still not working. Maybe it is a debian/userspace problem. If you find the cause I'd gladly fix it, but I don't think it is worth spending lots of time on.

following another project and recall seeing this:
https://github.com/gisab/WDMC-Ex2/tree/main/3.Kernel
see section "Use patch to fix LED beheavor"
unconfirmed but seems related

Can you try if #21 fixes the problem?
