How can I find out and fix this? First, you should check the rfkill status of the WWAN device. If it is "rfkilled", it won't work and might not even show up in the bus. The way to do this is distro-dependant, Debian and Ubuntu have an "rfkill" package with an rfkill tool, and also an urfkill package with a daemon that presumably listen to some input events related to rfkill-style keys and switches. NetworkManager likely has a way to interact with the rfkill subsystem as well. Also, try pressing the relevant Fn+Fx hotkey a few times... -- Henrique Holschuh -- The linux-thinkpad mailing list home page is at: http://mailman.linux-thinkpad.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-thinkpad
