Hi Andre,
I see that my previous reply didn't reach lkml

You should also set up the name of the device that controls the activity:

Example:
root@OpenWrt:/sys/class/leds/mdio_mux-0.2:01:green:lan# echo "eth0" > 
device_name
root@OpenWrt:/sys/class/leds/mdio_mux-0.2:01:green:lan# echo "1" > link_10
root@OpenWrt:/sys/class/leds/mdio_mux-0.2:01:green:lan# echo "1" > 
link_1000
root@OpenWrt:/sys/class/leds/mdio_mux-0.2:01:amber:lan# echo "eth0" > 
device_name
root@OpenWrt:/sys/class/leds/mdio_mux-0.2:01:amber:lan# echo "1" > rx
root@OpenWrt:/sys/class/leds/mdio_mux-0.2:01:amber:lan# echo "1" > tx


In the second iteration, I added the default-spate = “keep” property. By 
default,
the LEDs will be activated as before.
