FN+F2 (Radio Toggle) does not function on Pangolin

[Thomas Aaron]

The wireless radio toggle (FN+F2) does not work on the Pangolin. The radio is on all the time, and wireless connectivity is good.

This is an important bug to fix - customers need to be able to turn off the wireless radio for a flight or to conserve battery.

Possible culprits:
BIOS
/etc/acpi/wireless.sh
Do the keys report output?

Here is a work-around to hold you over until we figure out the REAL problem:

Right-click on the upper panel of your screen (where all the little icons are) and select "Add to Panel."
Select "Custom Application Launcher"
In the box that appears:
-Under name, write 'Wireless Toggle'
-Under Command, write: gksu /etc/acpi/asus-wireless.sh

And feel free to select a nifty icon if you like.

If you click once, it turns your wireless radio and led off.
Click it again, and it turns them back on.

Our shop Pangolin is a S96F running BIOS version 901.

If I 'tail -f /var/log/acpid' and press the Fn-F2 keys, there is no keystroke output.
Just for the fun of it, I tried re-installing the BIOS. It did not help.
