Sounds like this is a problem for the whole 40xx series.  I've got a
4000CDT with the same trouble.  There's a bit of info from someone who
had similar problems after upgrading kernels (or adding APMd, he's not
sure).  The info is the following URL:
'http://www.submm.caltech.edu/~shimpei/laptop/#keyboard'

Updating the pcmcia-cs doesn't seem to do any good, and I don't know
enough to do either of the other two suggestions.
