Exact same issue with Thinkpad R50e. I decided to try the following:
$ watch -n 0.1 xxd /dev/nvram

That gives a fast-updating hexdump of /dev/nvram. It seems that hitting the wireless button does not affect it (it does for the other buttons). Windows does recognize the wireless button event... what interface does it go through?

I have the same problem on a Thinkpad R40 (2722-GDG)
Volume, Brightness and the Lamp work (with OSD)

And, I think, it don't read in my /etc/tpbrc.
I changed the colour of OSD to RED and restarted tpb, but nothing changed

watch --differences=cumulative -n 0 xxd /dev/nvram
does not show any change in /dev/nvram when I press
Fn+F5 (active wlan card) so it seems that TB R40 works
differently than other TBs.

Fn+space,"Access IBM",Fn+Light,Fn+Prightness+/-,mute,vol+/- are shown in /dev/nvram.

I have the same problem with IBM Thinkpad R40 (2681-HSG)
I'm running Debian Sarge with 2.6.8 kernel.

Hi!

I own a thinkpad R40 (2722-5MG), which has a wireless button. in TPB i can activate the section in config, but nothing happens, if i start it with tpb -v, it seems tpb isn't recognizing it correctly, as there is no output as when i press the Volume Keys for example. What can i do to make it recognice my wireless key?
