I just booted into Linux again, it restored itself fine from hibernation,
but now I get a new symptom:
% cat /sys/devices/platform/thinkpad_acpi/wwan_enable
0
% sudo sh -c 'echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/thinkpad_acpi/wwan_enable'
sh: line 0: echo: write error: Operation not permitted
I need to recompile my kernel with thinkpad_acpi a module...
