Title:
  Function Keys - Wireless key does not work on Dell Vostro 5460

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  CID: 201211-12070 Dell Vostro 5460 (12.04.2 kernel version 3.5.0-32

  Wireless key does not work on this system.

  Although the wireless is not working on this system (driver needed, see #1187688)
  But by pressling the Wireless key, I can't turn bluetooth off.

  Tested with showkey -k, the wireless key is responsive.
