What wireless card do you have in there (at least with the t61 there are three
different options).

lspci | grep Ethernet
should give you the answer.

At least with intel iwl4965 I had to compile the compatwireless drivers with
the led enabled. With madwifi and atheros it required setting sysctl variables

dev.wifi0.ledpin = 1
dev.wifi0.softled = 3

With ath5k I haven't managed to get it working with the in kernel drivers yet
and I'm currently on 2.6.29-rc so the compatwireless drivers don't compile so I
haven't delved into them at the moment
