[solved] Disable LAN an WAN leds, but keeping WLAN leds

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

Hello,

Router is Netgear WNDR3700
LEDE Reboot 17.01.4

I use it as a Dumb AP.

I've bridged LAN and WAN to the same network interface.

Now, I would like to turn the LAN and WAN leds off, always.
I still want to keep the WLAN leds on when WiFi is on.

in /sys/class/leds, I have the following :

lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root             0 Nov 12 12:40 ath9k-phy0 ->     ../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:11.0/leds/ath9k-phy0
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root             0 Nov 12 12:40 ath9k-phy1 -> ../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:12.0/leds/ath9k-phy1
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root             0 Jan  1  1970 netgear:green:power ->     ../../devices/platform/leds-gpio/leds/netgear:green:power
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root             0 Nov 12 12:04 netgear:green:usb ->     ../../devices/platform/wndr3700-led-usb/leds/netgear:green:usb
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root             0 Jan  1  1970 netgear:green:wan ->     ../../devices/platform/leds-gpio/leds/netgear:green:wan
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root             0 Jan  1  1970 netgear:green:wps ->     ../../devices/platform/leds-gpio/leds/netgear:green:wps
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root             0 Jan  1  1970 netgear:orange:power ->     ../../devices/platform/leds-gpio/leds/netgear:orange:power
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root             0 Jan  1  1970 netgear:orange:wps ->         ../../devices/platform/leds-gpio/leds/netgear:orange:wps

2 problems here :

  • When something is connected to the WAN interface, it is blinking orange, while the led for WAN in /sys/class/leds is green : netgear:green:wan
  • Nothing about the LAN leds

I'm almost sure I had successfully done this when running OpenWRT at the time, but I can't find the config in my backup.

Thanks for your help

now, my /etc/config/network looks like this :
