Sorry, but if it is like the X60 it can not be made the work.
Just like in the WWAN slot, but in reverse, the USB lines are not wired on the WLAN slot.
IIRC this is not the case on the X201 (a very nice machine, but coreboot support may not be as good for the moment. However the ACPI tables look more complete.)
Most dual (wifi+bt) mini PCIe cards use the PCIe lines for wifi and the USB lines for bt, which is why you see the wifi in lspci but no bt in lsusb.

The hardware swich properly disconnects the bluetooth module from USB. It would be nice to do the same for wwan, but I guess ec_access and echo -n "suspend" are better than nothing. I plan to try and create a rfkill-wwan kernel module doing just that. I tried to find some code example for the
RCBA
but couldn't.
Has anyone ever managed to get the USB lines on the T60 WLAN slot to work? I plugged in an Intel 7260 802.11ac + Bluetooth card, and it is reportedly using USB for bluetooth and PCIe for WLAN. My problem is that the Bluetooth part of the card doesn't even show up in lsusb.
This thread made me wonder whether this is just an issue with broken rfkill.
