The newer V series bios reports product version as 'Lenovo'
instead of 'ThinkPad'. Recoginze this new string so that
the module can load.

V-series are Ideapad, so I'm not really sure this need to be added to
thinkpad-acpi.

Log-Messages when disabling the screen saver

Dear sir or madam,

Mar 11 05:50:12 bayes kernel: [127478.174082] thinkpad_acpi: unknown 
possible thermal alarm or keyboard event received
Mar 11 05:50:12 bayes kernel: [127478.184884] thinkpad_acpi: 
temperatures (Celsius): 53 0 53 0 0 0 22 0
Mar 11 05:50:12 bayes kernel: [127478.184913] thinkpad_acpi: unhandled

Mar 11 05:50:12 bayes kernel: [127478.184922] thinkpad_acpi: please 
report the conditions when this event happened to 
ibm-acpi-devel@...

Reporting as requests. Event occured when disabling screen server on 
running machine after 6h. Machine not in powersave or suspend since 
multiple virtual machines running on it.

Kind regards,
hd

PS: If this is a re-reporting from an old kernel (

Linux version 3.0.0-16-generic (buildd <at> palmer) (gcc version 4.6.1 
(Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.1-9ubuntu3) ) #28-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jan 27 17:50:54 UTC 2012

) you might change the kernel log message to include url where to check 
if already fixed or even use some simple online form, that classifies 
the message before creating an entry in a bug-tracker.

You can safely ignore it, it is a false alarm by the driver.

Hmm, that's a nice idea.  I will consider it.

REQUEST: rfkill switch for wifi

Hi,
at now thinkpad-acpi provides a built-in rfkill switch for bluetooth
that responds to KEY_BLUETOOTH
(i've added
     0x5 bluetooth
to /lib/udev/keymaps/module-lenovo)
so through udev i can switch bluetooth on and off and at the same time
load and unload the drivers modules (and stop the daemon)

this is not possible for the wifi because the only rfkill switch is
provided by the wifi driver, so removing it is a clear selfcheck-mate
is it possible to add an idependent rfkill switch for the wifi too?

thanks and regards
roberto

No, as there is no firmware support for it.
