Bug#465225: No bluetooth or wan control in /proc/acpi/ibm in kernel 2.6.24-1-686



Package: linux-image-2.6.24-1-686
Version: 2.6.24-2

There appears to be no control for turning on / off the Bluetooth or WAN
radios in /proc/acpi/ibm/ as has been the case with previous kernels.
May be related to bug #463611 (No battery directory in /proc/acpi).

I had noticed that the light for the wan radio was remaining on, despite 
running the script that echos "disable" into /proc/acpi/ibm/wan, when I
took a closer look, I got the following:

dave@roflet% echo disable > /proc/acpi/ibm/wan
zsh: no such file or directory: /proc/acpi/ibm/wan

The same happened with bluetooth. Running an earlier kernel version, you
could also determine the state of the radio by catting:
(running 2.6.18-4-686):
dave@roflet% cat /proc/acpi/ibm/wan
status:         disabled
commands:       enable, disable

This no longer appears to work in 2.6.24, returning the same "no such
file or directory" error.
