Comment 4 for bug 296663

This is not a bug in the acpi source package, as that only contains some utilities for inspecting parameters from the ACPI subsystem.

Your dmesg shows a lot of unrecognised keys. As your wlan is likely to be one of these, I'm reassinging to hal-info for now, as this is usually solved by adding HAL quirks for your laptop. Could you please attach the output of "lshal" to this bug report, and also do the following:

1) Open a terminal and run "tail -f /var/log/kern.log"
2) Press your non-functioning key.
3) Copy the output from the terminal to this bug report. It should be similar to the following output, and will enable us to identify which scancode belongs to your wlan key:

[ 1007.886000] atkbd.c: Unknown key released (translated set 2, code 0xf2 on isa0060/serio0).
[ 1007.886014] atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e072 <keycode>' to make it known.
