Comment 13 for bug 232170

I have a 701 4G Surf. I'm running the latest "daily" of Intrepid - updated this morning. Confirming that hot-keys do not work.

F1 (Suspend) disables networking momentarily, and then restores it. Here is what I catch in /var/log/messages ...

Sep 17 10:12:24 ray-laptop gnome-power-manager: (ray) Hibernating computer. Reason: The suspend button has been pressed.
Sep 17 10:12:29 ray-laptop kernel: [ 208.652012] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready
Sep 17 10:12:29 ray-laptop kernel: [ 208.826229] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready
Sep 17 10:12:29 ray-laptop kernel: [ 208.826448] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): wlan0: link becomes ready

F2 (Wireless Toggle) - Pressing has no effect, no logged output.

F3/F4 (Brightness) - Work fine!

F5 (External display toggle), F6 (application button) - No desired effect, no fault found.

F7 (mute), F8 (Volume up), F9 (Volume down) - No effect, no logged output.

Should these hotkeys be controlled with the eeepc_laptop driver? I cannot find an answer on this anywhere. It seems that eeepc-acpi has been deprecated in favor of this new module. If that is the case, is there a better place to report eeepc_laptop bugs? I will do whatever I can to help this effort. :-)
