Yes.  It works, now and I have been able to do manual ifdown/ifup 
several times as a test.

Herr Doktor Professor Turnbull's suggestion to look for an external 
switch was the key.  Unlike his wife's Vaio, however, the switch on the 
ThinkPad is recessed and hard to switch on and off.  After I moved the 
switch back to the other position, I had to reboot to see wlan, but it 
came right back on schedule.

The reason it got switched off in the first place is that the graphic 
used to illustrate the switch's function looks more appropriate to 
screen brightness setting.  And, since I received the laptop as a 
prezzie for setting up a bulk order of it's brothers and sisters with 
Japanese XP as a favor to someone, there was no manual.
