Title:
  [Dell Inspiron 3437] Wireless hotkey does not work

Status in linux-lts-trusty package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  CID: 201304-13210 Dell Inspiron 3437

  The wireless key does not work on this system

  WORKAROUND: 1. Install 12.04.4 + 3.14rc2 kernel
  2. Add "options dell_laptop force_rfkill=1" into /etc/modprobe.d/dell.conf
  3. Reboot
  4. Test the hotkey

  Debugging information:
  * With showkey command, key press event will be correctly detected,
  but the release event will shows up right after the press event even if you hold the wireless hotkey down.

  ubuntu@201304-13210:/usr/share/checkbox/jobs$ sudo showkey -k
  kb mode was ?UNKNOWN?
  [ if you are trying this under X, it might not work
  since the X server is also reading /dev/console ]

  press any key (program terminates 10s after last keypress)...
  keycode 240 press
  keycode 240 release
  keycode 240 press
  keycode 240 release
  keycode 240 press
  keycode 240 release
  keycode  29 press
  ^Ccaught signal 2, cleaning up...

  * With xev command, the same release behaviour can be seen:
  KeyPress event, serial 36, synthetic NO, window 0x3a00001,
      root 0x9c, subw 0x0, time 159906720, (603,314), root:(669,366),
      state 0x0, keycode 248 (keysym 0x0, NoSymbol), same_screen YES,
      XLookupString gives 0 bytes:

      XFilterEvent returns: False
