Thank you for your patch. I tested it with 2.6.0-test2 and the wireless
card works OK.

But I have a problem with 2.6 kernels on my T30 that prevent me from
using them for normal use. Since the arrival of the new input structure
in 2.5, I can't make the mouse work (I have both the trackpoint and
trackpad). I compiled my 2.6 kernel with this configuration file:
http://www.via.ecp.fr/~alexis/t30/config-2.6.0-test2

When I do "modprobe psmouse", I have in my "syslog":

Jul 29 15:23:43 alpy kernel: Synaptics Touchpad, model: 1
Jul 29 15:23:43 alpy kernel:  Firware: 5.9
Jul 29 15:23:43 alpy kernel:  Sensor: 44
Jul 29 15:23:43 alpy kernel:  new absolute packet format
Jul 29 15:23:43 alpy kernel:  Touchpad has extended capability bits
Jul 29 15:23:43 alpy kernel:  -> multifinger detection
Jul 29 15:23:43 alpy kernel:  -> palm detection
Jul 29 15:23:43 alpy kernel: input: Synaptics Synaptics TouchPad on
isa0060/serio1

But I can't do a "cat" on any of the devices in the directory
/dev/input/ (I tried /dev/input/event*, /dev/input/mouse*,
/dev/input/mice, /dev/input/js*).

So I removed "psmouse" and loaded "mousedev":

Jul 29 17:04:42 alpy kernel: mice: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice

Then I can do "cat /dev/psaux", but there is no data going out of the
device when I use the trackpoint or the touchpad !
