+EXPERIMENTAL: WAN -- /proc/acpi/ibm/wan
+---------------------------------------
+
+This feature is marked EXPERIMENTAL because the implementation
+directly accesses hardware registers and may not work as expected. USE
+WITH CAUTION! To use this feature, you need to supply the
+experimental=1 parameter when loading the module.
+
+This feature shows the presence and current state of a WAN (Sierra 
+Wireless EV-DO) device. If WAN is installed, the following commands can 
+be used:
+
+	echo enable > /proc/acpi/ibm/wan
+	echo disable > /proc/acpi/ibm/wan
+
+It was tested on a Lenovo Thinkpad X60. It should probably work on other
+Thinkpad models which come with this module installed.
