bluetooth can't be enabled by Fn-F5 on Thinkpad T43

bluetooth can't be enabled by Fn-F5 on Thinkpad T43 echo enable > /proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth works.
Same here with Thinkpad X41
In analogy to Bug 297812 - ThinkPad: Fn-F5 button does not toggle Bluetooth (openSUSE 10.3), the following works with openSUSE 11.0: echo enable,0xffffef > /proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey With this (or the same in/etc/modprobe.d/thinkpad_acpi), the Bluetooth toggle with Fn-F5 works as expected. I have no idea what this mask does and if it breaks something else.
The other recommendation in Bug 297812 works as well: Don't change the mask but install hotkey-setup (only available from packman repository ?!) and everything works just fine.
I think we had an online update to fix this, can you please check if it works having the latest updates installed?
It seems to be fixed now indeed.
