Please add driver for Lenovo SL Thinkpads to kernel. Those laptops are not really Thinkpads, and without additional driver they are half-working. Things which won't function properly without driver:
- bluetooth
- volume keys
- brightness control

Not working volume keys are minor thing, but no functioning BT and brightness are real issues.

Driver is available here: http://github.com/tetromino/lenovo-sl-laptop/tree/master
It compiles without problem with Jaunty Beta kernel, I've tested it on Thinkpad SL500.
It is being proposed for inclusion in kernel proper: http://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/7427/
Additionaly, as it only adding functionality, it won't cause any regressions.
