1. You *NEED* thinkpad-acpi 0.21-20080703.

2. you will have to use the very latest compat-wireless. 

3. you will get clashes in net/rfkill/* and include/linux/rfkill.h.
   Right NOW (this will change shortly), the thinkpad-acpi versions of
   those files are newer.

Compat-wireless is a fast moving target.  I simply cannot cope with
generating patches that go on top of it and still have any time left to do
real work on thinkpad-acpi and rfkill.

Sorry about that, but I am doing thinkpad-acpi and rfkill work, and the
rfkill part needs to go to wireless-testing, which means it ends up in
compat-wireless.  So, right now, the rfkill-compat and thinkpad-acpi
patchsets cause clashes.
