−	There is a problem with the ath5k led currently on some ThinkPads (X60s, T60). It can be trivially fixed by modifying the ledpin in the kernel (drivers/net/wireless/ath5k/base.c). Future versions of the kernel will make this a modparam or detect the wiring of the led properly.

+Some ThinkPads have a hardware switch that (at least in theory) must be in the '''on''' position for the radio to work. However this function depends on driver (thinkpad_acpi) and userland (typically NetworkManager) support, and as such nothing may happen unless you run a modern distribution like Fedora 12 or Ubuntu 9.10.
