@Jeff, since WLAN is been blocked by hardware PIN, there is no easy way to turn it on under Linux in a software way. the best solution is to see if Quanta willing to release a Thinkpad ACPI spec including how to do it from WMI interface like Windows app, then we can try to implement a thinkpad_wmi driver similar to hp_wmi(?) to control it. or there is another thing we can try is to check whether Quanta provide some hardware options for turn on/off accessories like WLAN in their latest BIOS. the last thing to try is to 'Load Defaults' in BIOS, some ODM BIOS will do a sane way to setup for most of the hardware with it's default configuration, then maybe accessories like WLAN and BT may turned on in this mode.
