Bug Description
When using the wireless on/off switch on the Compal CL56 (which is rebranded by a great number of manufacturers), the wireless is turned on/off fine.
However, the corresponding key code which is sent out at the same time, is ignored.
Here's the kernel output:
Feb 23 17:45:41 [kernel] [186208.044000] atkbd.c: Unknown key pressed (translated set 2, code 0x95 on isa0060/serio0).
Feb 23 17:45:41 [kernel] [186208.044000] atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e015 <keycode>' to make it known.

It would be really neat if this key code could be bound, and then used to display a small message in gnome/kde/xfce/etc when the user switches wireless on and off.
This already happens automagically out-of-the-box with volume up/down, so I think it's quite feasible to do the same with wireless.
