[ltp] R50P: Wireless w/2.6 kernel

I have installed the CVS madwifi, it detects my IBM 802.11 a/b/g no
problem. I am still waiting to get another wireless card to test with.

What I am wondering is if the wireless LED on the bottom side of the
screen actually lights up like in Windows if wireless communication is
activated.

Under windows I press Fn-F5 to activate bluetooth/wireless, under Linux
it only activates the bluetooth led ... never the wireless led. (Is this
via tpctl?)

Also, if anyone else needs help with the R50P under Linux 2.6, I've made
some good progress!
