[Bug 575973] Re: Fn-Keys for Wifi & 3G not working on Acer Aspire One 532

 

Christian Kuehnel, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't
been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an
issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development
release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in
the development release from a Terminal
(Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the daily folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.11-rc5

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, please comment as to why specifically you were unable to test it and add the following tags:
kernel-unable-to-test-upstream
kernel-unable-to-test-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Incomplete

Title:
  Fn-Keys for Wifi & 3G not working on Acer Aspire One 532

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I'm using an Acer Aspire One 532h with integrated 3G modem. The with
  the Fn+F2 key I should be able to toggle the status of wifi and 3G (at
  least with Windows 7). As the Fn+F2 key does not produce any events in
  Ubuntu, I'm unable to use my 3G modem. I also can't turn wifi off, eg.
  when going on an airplane.

  wifi on, 3g off <-- default mode at start-up.
  wifi off, 3g on
  wifi on, 3g on
  wifi off, 3g off

  I already tries this with the latest upstream kernel, same for standard lucid kernel.
  I also tried the usual suspects and did not find any events for this key: dmesg, xev,showkey

  Other keys such as brightness, suspend, etc. work fine.
