Bug Description
I have one of many laptops (its OEM and it is called Prestigio 157) whose hotkeys are driven with acerhk module. Full list can be seen here: http://
It is actually AOpen 1557, but dmidecode, /var/lib/
acerhk is loaed automatically in Ubuntu now, but my model would need specifying autowlan=1 as a module option so that the button to turn off/on the wifi would work.
I just found there is other driver (wistron_btns) that somehow works with my laptop that is still maintained (and is included in the kernel), I am trying to reach the author to get my model fully supported.

Huh, acerhk is loaded in Edgy, that is great. I, however still need to pass some optionst through modprobe.d/options, namely
options acerhk autowlan=1
(and I need to revoke it in etc/modules - but it at least got installed).
