It looks like wireless was working fine when you reported the bug. Is this correct?

Here's what I'd like you to try. Get your machine into this state, and check the output of 'rfkill list'. Then press the wlan hotkey and check the output of the same command again. Is the state of any of the devices changing?

Next, use lsinput to identify the input device named "Eee PC WMI hotkeys" or something similar, which will be associated with some input/event<n> device. Then run 'sudo input-events <n>' and press the wlan hotkey. Does input-events output KEY_WLAN events when you press the hotkey?

Please also attach /var/log/syslog and the output of dmesg after wireless has stopped working. Thanks!
