+lan951x-led-ctl is a command line tool to control the LEDs connected to a
+LAN9512 or LAN9514 ethernet controller.
+
+Usually those LEDs show the ethernet status like "Link/Activity", "Speed" and
+"Duplex" mode. Using this tool you can turn them off, if you don't like
+a disco in your room at night ;-) Or you can turn them on/off from any shell
+script to show whatever status you wish.
+
+These ethernet and USB controllers are used on many embedded computers like
+Raspberry PI, Olinuxino and many more.
