I have a few keys where the most important is Fn-F1 (wireless) where don't work

Doing research on my wifi I found out that I can't turn wifi on with Fn-F1.

lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 8.10
Release: 8.10

Looking at the output from "watch 'cat /proc/interrupts'" key presses increased the i8042 counter for the following key combinations

Fn-F1 Wireless, No interrupt received
Fn-F2 (No function)
Fn-F3 Audio on/off, Working
Fn-F4 Audio Down, Working
Fn-F5 Audio Up, Working
Fn-F6 Toggle mouse, Working
Fn-F7 Toggle Webcam, Working
Fn-F8 Lower Screen Light (not happening, but interrupt received)
Fn-F9 Raise Screen Light (not happening, but interrupt received)
Fn-F10 Switch Display, No interrupt received
Fn-F11 Fan, No interrupt received
Fn-F12 Standby, Working

Using xev don't provide much information, except for focusout on funcions there make onscreen notification like Audio

I know there a lots of wifi related issues, but this labtop is the only one there don't give a interrupt when i press the wireless key and that point to kernel i think. :o))
