BTW: I am currently updating my wife's iPOD from my cruzer drive on Windows 2000. The light stays on when the drive is idle and flashes off when transferring data. So the light property is a Cruzer thing, not a Linux thing.

I don know for others, but if I was to design a device, and it have to have only one light. Iĺl go that way - the light will be on when the device is connected, and will flash during data transfer. I do not see anything strange with the design. If you do not turn on the light how the user will know that the device is successfully connected?
A fair approach would be to flash when plugged in, but then stay off unless data transfer is underway. A cooler approach is to use two LEDs, or a bi-color LED. Green for idling, and red for data transfer. -- _____________________ Christopher R. Carlen crobc@bogus-remove-me.sbcglobal.net SuSE 9.1 Linux 2.6.5
