[ltp] T42 needs help to shut down

[Evan Leibovitch]

Hello everyone,

I have a T42 running Mandrake 10.1. Most things are working fine, 
including the wireless, after little more than the stock downloadable 
install available to a MandrakeClub Standard member. The problem I have 
is trying to turn the thing off.

Doing a shutdown from Windows everything works fine. When I shutdown 
from Linux, the round "power" LED goes off but the  battery and wireless 
LEDs stay on (even if the power cord is unplugged), and the fan keeps 
running. Only pressing and holding the power button for 10 or so seconds 
really turns it off completely.

Thanks for any suggestions that can be offered.
