Hi,

unfortunatly the issue has not been fixed in the latest upstream kernel.
The kernel version I used to test was:

$ uname -r
3.15.0-031500rc8-generic

For the test I ran acpi_listen and toggled the switch numerous times.

Out of curiosity I also checked some older kernel images:

3.11.10-03111010-generic, which is the last 3.11 iteration, is working fine:
$ acpi_listen -t 10
ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 00007000

and its broken with 3.12.0-031200rc1-generic, which is the first 3.12
release candiate.

I hope this helps to track it down.

Title:
  [Lenovo Thinkpad X220] wireless switch doesn't generate an acpi event

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  $ lsb_release -rd
  Description:    Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
  Release:        14.04

  
  I use a customized acpi event script to disable bluetooth on my Thinkpad x220, if I toggle the hardware wifi switch (not Fn+F5):

  $ cat /etc/acpi/ibm-wireless-switch.sh 
  #!/bin/sh

  test -f /usr/share/acpi-support/state-funcs || exit 0

  # Find and toggle wireless of bluetooth devices on ThinkPads

  . /usr/share/acpi-support/state-funcs

  # disable bluetooth on wireless activate to save battery
  if isAnyWirelessPoweredOn; then
      # Wireless was turned on
      logger "Wireless switch turned on: Disable bluetooth."
      echo disable > /proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth
  fi

  
  This used to work fine with Ubuntu 13.10, however it stopped working with 14.04. More precisely the switch doesnt generate an acpi event anymore. To check that I used acpi_listen.

  $ acpi_listen -t 10
  # nothing happens here

  
  Using 14.04 with kernel version 3.11.0-19 from 13.10 the switch works fine again:

  $ acpi_listen -t 10
  ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 00007000

  Thanks.
