I use:

corsac@hidalgo: cat /etc/hal/fdi/policy/thinkpad-acpi.fdi
<match key="info.product" string="ThinkPad Extra Buttons">
  <append key="input.keymap.data" type="strlist">0x04:bluetooth</append>
<!-- Fn+F5 bluetooth -->
  <append key="input.keymap.data" type="strlist">0x05:wlan</append> <!--
Fn+F6 wifi -->
</match>

Didn't try on 2.6.31 but it does work on 2.6.30.
