I built kernel as of today, my X40 shows:

hw.acpi.ibm.initialmask: 2060
hw.acpi.ibm.availmask: 2524
hw.acpi.ibm.events: 0
hw.acpi.ibm.eventmask: 2060
hw.acpi.ibm.hotkey: 1312
hw.acpi.ibm.lcd_brightness: 7
hw.acpi.ibm.volume: 0
hw.acpi.ibm.mute: 0
hw.acpi.ibm.thinklight: 0
hw.acpi.ibm.bluetooth: 0
hw.acpi.ibm.wlan: 1
hw.acpi.ibm.fan_rpm: 4285
hw.acpi.ibm.fan_status: 1
hw.acpi.ibm.thermal: 48 43 47 40 25 -1 32 -1

BTW, wlan LED only works before suspend, that is, it won't blink after
suspend (this is same behavior as before).
