Thomas,

Thank you for your reply. 

I have added that. It doesn't see the module. I looking for an
alternative to changing the path environment for a single module. I
tried a ln -s but Ubuntu didn't like that. 

I found a unresolved bug report on this issue. Several debian users want
to get this resolved but it doesn't appear as a priority. 

Also, an issue exists with permissions which I see as fixable
in /etc/udev/permissions.d/50-udev.permissions

I'm just not as familiar with debian as RPM distributions. 

In Fedora, the sources set up a directory in /lib/modules called
thinkpad. I may have to reinstall that to see what it did. 

Any further thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Tom
