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.

i have no W-Wan Sierra Wireless EV-DO device on x61s, but from
the code this should work:
echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/thinkpad_acpi/wwan_enable

and seems to work
anyway use the sysfs interface and be happy, closing
