If you are compiling this driver as included in the Linux kernel
sources, simply enable the CONFIG_ACPI_IBM option (Power Management /
ACPI / IBM ThinkPad Laptop Extras). The rest of this section describes
how to install this driver when downloaded from the web site.
First, you need to get a kernel with ACPI support up and running.
Please refer to http://acpi.sourceforge.net/ for help with this
step. How successful you will be depends a lot on you ThinkPad model,
the kernel you are using and any additional patches applied. The
kernel provided with your distribution may not be good enough. I
needed to compile a 2.6.7 kernel with the 20040715 ACPI patch to get
ACPI working reliably on my ThinkPad X40. Old ThinkPad models may not
be supported at all.
Assuming you have the basic ACPI support working (e.g. you can see the
/proc/acpi directory), follow the following steps to install this
driver:
- unpack the archive:
tar xzvf ibm-acpi-x.y.tar.gz; cd ibm-acpi-x.y
- compile the driver:
make
- install the module in your kernel modules directory:
make install
- load the module:
modprobe ibm_acpi
After loading the module, check the "dmesg" output for any error messages.

This feature is marked EXPERIMENTAL because the implementation
directly accesses hardware registers and may not work as expected. USE
WITH CAUTION! To use this feature, you need to supply the
experimental=1 parameter when loading the module.
This feature shows the presence and current state of a WAN (Sierra
Wireless EV-DO) device. If WAN is installed, the following commands can
be used:
echo enable > /proc/acpi/ibm/wan
echo disable > /proc/acpi/ibm/wan
It was tested on a Lenovo Thinkpad X60. It should probably work on other
Thinkpad models which come with this module installed.
