Title:
  Wireless hotkey does not work

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  The laptop with this problem is a Novatech X10-TP. The wireless card
  is a Ralink RT2870.

  When the laptop is booted the wireless is always disabled by default.
  The laptop has a wireless hotkey (fn-F2) to enable wireless. Pressing
  this after the desktop has loaded switches the wireless led on, but
  Network Manager does not detect that the wireless is available. If I
  disable wireless in Network Manager, then re-enable it, the wireless
  card is detected and a connection is made.

  If I press the wireless hotkey again the led goes off, but Network
  Manager again does not detect the change. Interestingly the wireless
  is still usable! I am completing this report on line with the wireless
  led off!

  If I press the wireless hotkey as Ubuntu boots (before login) Network
  Manager detects the wireless and makes the connection.

  Other info:
  dmesg doesn't report anything when the wireless hotkey is used
  acpi_listen does not detect any events for the wireless hotkey

  Any thoughts or advice on this problem would be much appreciated.

  Regards
