The key does not function by default on maverick. It seems to not interact
with the system when initially disabled by kernel.

I'll try the command line and get back to you ASAP.

Thank you very much for the help

the wireless button switch stays orange and refuses to turn blue to
activate, and the wireless acess is greyed out on both gnome and KDE (Ubuntu
and Kubuntu respectively) running on the latest 2.6.35 kernel. Installing
the latest mainline kernal hangs on boot for all GRUB options (2.6.36-rc4)
and renders sytem unusable.
