This one: acer-wmi https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/platform/x86/acer-wmi.c But as far as I can tell there haven't been any changes to this one with debian kernel 6.12.96-1 (which was the one I had recently rebooted into when I discovered Fn had lost its function). The previous kernel was 6.12.95-1 that I had booted into on July 19 and I can't remember any Fn issues on that (but I can't be sure. I was busy with other stuff at the time). The previous before that was 6.12.94-1 booted into on June 22 and that one most certainly didn't give many Fn issues. (not saying the kernel version is the cause but I noticed the lack of Fn on July 24 and I had booted into a new kernel two days before)
