wifi and bluetooth are disabled in my x61s, I have tried to add your usb 
autosuspend rules, to no effect. Waiting a long time, I get 

temperatures:   41 40 40 35 -128 -128 -128 -128 39 40 

Now the mystery is that the 2nd and 3rd temps are 3C higher in my case. Do 
they correspond to HDD and GPU? In that case, do you use laptop-mode and what 
options do you use for the GPU?

Thanks for your help. Eventually, one should put all the tricks on 
thinkwiki.org

Best wishes
