Comment 9 for bug 767192

@Tommy:

It look like all your hotkeys are coming in on the AT keyboard device anyway, so it won't really matter whether or not you load the acer-wmi driver. The bios doesn't appear to be using wmi to report any key events, so you'll never see any difference in the lsinput output or the key events being generated when you load the acer-wmi driver. The hotkey is generating the appropriate key event, so nothing is broken there. I'd still be interested to know if there's any output from acpi_listen when you press the hotkey.

To clarify a comment you made on bug #710738 -- you said that pressing the wifi hotkey disabled wifi, but you had to use the network manager panel applet to re-enable it. Can I infer from this that the wifi hotkey fails to enable wifi when it is disabled? Does the behavior differ with or without the acer-wmi module loaded?

Sorry, I know the hotkey is the less important issue in this bug report, I just wanted to close the loop on the conversation we started on the other bug while it's fresh on my mind.
