[ltp] ATTENTION T40/41/4*p OWNERS!

[André Wyrwa]

I asked the IBM linux guys at the CeBIT about it and they told they
didn't know something to count on but believed that it was fixed with
the 41/41p models. What are the experiences?

BTW: They also told that the specs for the active protection system
applet will or are already (?) published.
