Apparently I have. Thank you very much. I wonder why it is not detected
by Windows - but I don't use it much so practically I don't care.

I was afraid it is hardware problem - and since this feature is rather

BTW. How to enable rfkill?
# find /sys/ | grep rfkill
#

 PID 2689
[  137.609346] thinkpad_acpi: WARNING: sysfs attribute wwan_enable is
deprecated and will be removed. Please switch to generic rfkill before
