Comment 32 for bug 199682

Hi Junkert,

Thank you for your email. I am just an average user but will try to help you out as much as I can. Canonical support is almost non existent as their priorities are elsewhere.

I double checked Fn+F2 key and yes, it does work on my laptop (NM applet disconnects and says Wireless networks disabled, then reconnects to wireless network when I press Fn+F2 the second time). Wireless LED goes off and on as per my patch.

How it works is a real mystery to me, because Fn+F2 key generates acpi ATKD 05d event while /etc/acpi/events/asus-wireless-* event handlers are designed to translate ATKD 05e and 05f codes into wireless on and off scripts.

You can try to change these values to 05d instead and see if it helps.

I noticed that even if I stop acpid the hot keys still work. Makes me wonder.

Anyways, try to play around and see if it helps.

Kind regards,
Lex
