So, can we have this in-kernel?:

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/tpctl/thinkpad_4.1.tar.gz?download

Then at least I could configure my serial ports (which I have) since I
don't have a docking port to play with ... (please don't take that out
of context now ...).

(may want to see what I did in the srpm:
http://ranger.dnsalias.com/mandrake/cooker/thinkpad-4.1-1mdk.src.rpm
)

Then I could put this in contrib ..

http://ranger.dnsalias.com/mandrake/cooker/tpctl-4.2-1mdk.src.rpm

It has been requested on the club and got quite a few votes.
