[Mauro <1246143@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have this exact same issue on Linux Mint 16 KDE (based on Ubuntu
13.10) and an HP ProBook G1 450. However in my case, I don't have to use
FN+F12, but I have a dedicated button with led (orange = wifi disabled,
white = wifi enabled). This button doesn't do anything, though, although
it turns orange when I do "rfkill block 0" and white when I do "rfkill
unblock 0".

When I press the button to switch wireless on and off, nothing happens, as I said, but I see this in dmesg:
[  135.505274] atkbd serio0: Unknown key pressed (translated set 2, code 0xf8 on isa0060/serio0).
[  135.505285] atkbd serio0: Use 'setkeycodes e078 <keycode>' to make it known.
[  135.690922] atkbd serio0: Unknown key released (translated set 2, code 0xf8 on isa0060/serio0).
[  135.690932] atkbd serio0: Use 'setkeycodes e078 <keycode>' to make it known.

Title:
  [HP Pavilion g7-1260us Notebook PC] "hp-wmi" module does not toggle
  wireless

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  I am running Ubuntu 13.10 on an HP g7-1260 laptop, which has a
  wireless toggle button on the keyboard. This button has a light that
  is supposed to turn orange when the wifi is disabled and blue when it
  is enabled. The button should be activated when the fn+f12 combination
  is pressed, but this does not happen. I am guessing that this is
  caused by the hp-wmi kernel module not translating the key press into
  a toggle event. The wireless can be turned on and off manually using
  the Ubuntu menu and with rfkill. The light on the key responds when
  the wireless is enabled and disabled.
