Yep, I'm pretty certain now. I booted the thinkpad, fan speed quickly rose to appx 3700. Then I left it alone for a half hour, wireless on and associated. The fan speed was unchanged when I looked back in on it. CPU temperature steady around 36C. Then I disabled wireless and waited.. lo and behold, at the exact moment the reported mini-pci temp was down to 45C, the fan fell back to around 2200 RPM. Unfortunatly, this is not something that seems to be likely to happen with wireless on. I suspect I'll be taking it apart to see if there's room for a heat spreader in the near future.
