Screen brightness and so forth depend on inteldrm(4) support so those will not work until inteldrm(4) Skylake support arrives. As for the keyboard backlight, you can control that with Fn Spacebar or with wsconsctl(8) and its keyboard.backlight property. I am not aware of WiFi on/off working on other systems but you could post a message to the misc@ list since that is more appropriate for this thread as well and see what responses you get. It would be nice to have WiFi on/off working from a key if that is possible. Bryan
