Event Timeline

Jose submitted a variant where the driver (e1000 in this case) calls the iflib_led_create() function in its post attach. I am open to either approach if anyone has any thoughts one way or the other.

I prefer this approach.

Regardless of which patch you choose, on my home router (2 i211-based NICs), identifying /dev/led/igb0 works, but /dev/led/igb1 do not.

Nevertheless, the LED devices are created as well. Thank you!

Seems ok. This kind of reflection looks a bit hacky but I see it used elsewhere. Probably we should have some kobj.h helper to do it.
