On all of mine it does not come on unless you have a something plugged into

I just took my WRT54G v3.0 running DD-WRT v24 RC6.2 and unplugged ALL
the various cables. The light remained on. Oh well.

However, when I unplugged all the cables, and power cycled the router,
it came up with no lights on. It stayed that way until I installed
*TWO* cables. Actually, any two cables, LAN or WAN would do the
trick. However, plugging in a single cable did not turn on the light.
Once lit, it would stay on no matter how many cables were inserted.
Weird.

Also, with no cables plugged in, a wireless connection would NOT turn
on the light. However plugging in a single cable, in addition to the
wireless connection, would turn on the light. Also weird.

Note that if you enable the SES/AOSS/whatever button to turn the
wireless on/off, the light will change with button action. Also, I
believe that the light changes color when WDS is working. I'm not
setup to test that right now.

I'm not sure if it comes on for anything else but that's what I've noticed
Is there anything plugged into the WAN or LAN ports?
