Well, the Window user manual is clear and it happened the 1000H I used
has Windows XP Home installed, with Fn+F2 toggling between

  wlan ON & bluetooth ON -> wlan ON & bluetooth OFF ->
   -> wlan OFF & bluetooth ON -> wlan OFF & bluetooth OFF

NB, I am not arguing that we should follow Windows here, but the same
behavior is shared by IBM/Lenovo ThinkPads, at least on the T42p and X60
models.

FWIW, tested to work correctly on both 1000H and 904HD.

A small note: IIRC the correct location for updated modules is
/lib/modules/$(KVERS)/updates/ [1] and then you do not need the
/etc/depmod.d override.  This functionality is available in
module-init-tools from version 3.1, but since etch already has 3.3,
there is no need for a versioned Depends:.  Patch attached, tested on
both machines.

Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca
