Thinkapd 410s: WiFi and screen on lid close



Two issues with a Thinkpad 410s running testing/unstable.

Custom-compiled 2.6.34 kernel (to fix issues with Thinkpad
volume/brightness controls):

	Linux altaira 2.6.34-custom-1- #1 SMP Thu Oct 21 18:30:43 PDT 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux


1: Wifi's stopped working.  Yes, it did initially. 

Sometime early in November.  Simply haven't had the time to look into
it.

I did try installing rfkill to reset the wireless card, but no dice

I use a script to load modules and attempt WiFi configuration.  If
there's anything obviously wrong:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash

rmmod iwlagn iwlcore mac80211 cfg80211;                                sleep 4
modprobe iwlagn;                                                       sleep 4
rfkill block wifi;                                                     sleep 2
rfkill unblock wifi;                                                   sleep 2
iwconfig wlan0;                                                        sleep 2
iwconfig wlan0 essid 'SSID-name' key '********'
iwconfig wlan0;                                                        sleep 2
dhclient -v wlan0
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Invoking that:

2:  When closing the laptop lid, apparently my display sleeps and won't
wake up.

I also can't view console after starting X.

Graphics are Intel:
PCI:*(0:0:2:0) 8086:0046:17aa:2159 Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller rev 2, Mem @ 0xf2000000/4194304, 0xd0000000/268435456, I/O @ 0x00001800/8
