Comment 18 for bug 710738

I'm going to have to look at the driver a little more closely, but here's a few things you can check regarding the hotkey.

First off, install the input-utils package, then run 'sudo lsinput'. In the output, look for a device with the name "Acer WMI hotkeys". Above that you'll see the the path to the device, which will be /dev/input/event<n>, where <n> is a number.

Now run 'sudo /lib/udev/keymap -i input/event<n>' using the Acer WMI device. Press the wifi hotkey, and let me know what output (if any) you get. When you're done you can kill the keymap program with Ctrl-C.

Next, run acpi_listen and press the wifi hotkey. Again, let me know what output you get.

Finally, provide the output of dmesg after pressing the wifi hotkey at least once..

Thanks!
