Extra details

Added by DietPi:

This is saved in dietpi-led_control.rules, it works after setting, but on reboot, only the red heartbeat is on.


SUBSYSTEM=="leds", KERNEL=="green:lan", ACTION=="add", ATTR{trigger}="r8169-1-100:00:link"
SUBSYSTEM=="leds", KERNEL=="green:wlan", ACTION=="add", ATTR{trigger}="hci0-power"

this is the content of dietpi-eth-leds.rules

probably something @MichaIng could help with

Oh, LED device names changed from vendor kernel to mainline kernel? Let me check on NanoPi R5S.

Okay fixed for next release: v9.8 · MichaIng/DietPi@e7131f8 · GitHub

You can apply this config:

cat << '_EOF_' > /etc/udev/rules.d/dietpi-eth-leds.rules
SUBSYSTEM=="leds", KERNEL=="green:lan", ACTION=="add", ATTR{trigger}="netdev", ATTR{device_name}="eth0", ATTR{link}="1", ATTR{rx}="1", ATTR{tx}="1", RUN+="/bin/ip l s up dev eth0", RUN+="/bin/ip l s down dev eth0"
SUBSYSTEM=="leds", KERNEL=="green:wan", ACTION=="add", ATTR{trigger}="netdev", ATTR{device_name}="eth1", ATTR{link}="1", ATTR{rx}="1", ATTR{tx}="1", RUN+="/bin/ip l s up dev eth1", RUN+="/bin/ip l s down dev eth1"
SUBSYSTEM=="leds", KERNEL=="green:wlan", ACTION=="add", ATTR{trigger}="netdev", ATTR{device_name}="wlan0", ATTR{link}="1", ATTR{rx}="1", ATTR{tx}="1", RUN+="/bin/ip l s up dev wlan0", RUN+="/bin/ip l s down dev wlan0"
_EOF_

It assigns the WiFi LED as well.
