My cable modem has various blinken lights. In the user manual, there is a glossary of all the long/short blink patterns to help you diagnose network problems. It's helpful on a monitor-less modem (but I always need to dig around to find the user manual). This seems pointless on a Linux box with a monitor, but if a headless system this might be useful.
