Control of the LED isn't high on my list yet, but there is a lot of 
information here;

It's Debian centric, but you get the idea.  I really haven't read 
completely through it yet but i think for kernels < 2.6.36 you need to 
patch them.  For 36 and up there has been some type of dockstar support 
added to the kernel.
