I had a look at the new Tx/Rx blinking and made changes to make it less annoying for me as seen with
the big bright LED on my HP dv5000. The really distracting part is the slow blinking with long periods
of off and on. I changed the driver to have uniformly short off_time values of 10 in the blink_tbl array.
That gives a little flicker when there is network activity without a really distracting effect. The off times
could be set even lower to make the blinking barely discernable.

I have attached a patch that implements the change. If other folks think that is more like they want
I could try pushing this upstream.
