It's few days' ago -current on IBM X31-IDV. Works good.
I tried write to lcd_brightness, volume, thinklight
and it works ! Thanks.

But, seems that wlan's value 
is not correct. For example, after boot, wlan=1.
I ifconfig ath0 up, sysctl wlan=0, wireless stills
works. Does it supposed to work in that way?

Is there any reference that describes which sensor
monitors what part of ThinkPad?

Cheers,
rafan.
