Today I've upgrade my kernel to 2.6.25-tuxonice-r6 ( i hate this way to 
name kernel version, i suppose is 2.6.25.6)

If I leave the wlan\bluetooth switch off, the thinkpad_acpi module fails 
to load, in dmesg i found:

thinkpad_acpi: ThinkPad ACPI Extras v0.21-20080629
thinkpad_acpi: http://ibm-acpi.sf.net/
thinkpad_acpi: ThinkPad BIOS 7LETB7WW (2.17 ), EC 7KHT24WW-1.08
thinkpad_acpi: Lenovo ThinkPad T61, model 766418G
thinkpad_acpi: radio switch found; radios are disabled
thinkpad_acpi: This ThinkPad has standard ACPI backlight brightness 
control, supported by the ACPI video driver
thinkpad_acpi: Disabling thinkpad-acpi brightness events by default...
thinkpad_acpi: setting the hotkey mask to 0xffffffff is likely not the 
best way to go about it
thinkpad_acpi: please consider using the driver defaults, and refer to 
up-to-date thinkpad-acpi documentation
thinkpad_acpi: requested hot key mask 0xffffffff, but firmware forced it 
to 0x00ffffff
thinkpad_acpi: failed to register tpacpi_bluetooth_sw rfkill switch: -1


If I switch to ON and then # modprobe thinkpad_acpi all works fine.

Is there a module parameter (i read the 
Documentation/laptops/thinkpad-acpi.txt without founding anything) that 
tells to ignore the switch status? Or is a known issue?


thanks in advance :)
