Adrian,

believe or not =E2=80=A6 it simply started to work. I just left my =
thinkpad turned off during the night and now when I booted, almost =
everything works as expected:

I say "almost" because that small WiFi-LED doesn't blink as it should. =
Is there any way to fix this? I see these sysctls:

dev.ath.0.softled: 0
dev.ath.0.ledpin: 0
dev.ath.0.ledon: 0
dev.ath.0.ledidle: 2700

but I'm lost with them :)
