T61 wireless button

Does anyone with a T61 (or thinkpad) know why my wireless/bluetooth toggle button (fn+f5) isn't working?

I had the same problem on an X61, after I turned on the switch (its in the bottom part in the front middle) and followed the wiki, everything worked perfectly.
I am using knetworkmanager/gnome-network-manager.

My switch works fine, and my wireless and bluetooth also both work flawlessly, just the toggle buttons is messed up.

This patch looks interesting, linked from Thinkwiki. Also useful would ofcourse be the IBM-ACPI-thing.
