The goal of the speaker on our new board is for antenna alignment. Of
course, we are thinking on the client side here!

I have used a Shuttle Spacewalker motherboard with a flashrom unit and they
have a built in speaker and it clicks when data is being transferred.
I think it would be awesome to be able to align the antenna using the
speaker. Although it might be kinda tough to do that with more then one RF
interface in use.

All,
As I understand it, the speaker function has NOT yet been activated in the
software!

Doesn't make any sound when I run a link test. It squeals for a split
second evey time power is plugged in or removed.
