[Thomas Hood]

Those who have been getting the
    Can't open device file /dev/thinkpad with flags O_RDONLY
error, please try these:
    http://panopticon.csustan.edu/thood/tpctl_3.8.tar.gz
    http://panopticon.csustan.edu/thood/thinkpad_3.8.tar.gz

If you are a Debian user, you can do:
    tar zxvf tpctl_3.8.tar.gz
    tar zxvf thinkpad_3.8.tar.gz
    cd tpctl-3.8
    sudo make deb
    sudo dpkg -i ../tpctl_3.8-1_i386.deb
    cd ../thinkpad-3.8
    sudo make debs
    sudo dpkg -i ../thinkpad-base_3.8-1_i386.deb
../thinkpad-source_3.8-1_i386.deb
    cd /usr/src
    rm -rf modules/thinkpad
    tar zxvf thinkpad.tar.gz
    cd $KERNEL_SOURCE_TREE
    sudo make-kpkg modules-image
    dpkg --install ../thinkpad-modules-...3.8-1...deb
    tpctl -x
