First off, upon closing the lid my laptop now suspends which is a great

even while using Dapper.
Interesting - this is not the case with my notebook (HP nw8240). You are using the standard power management (klaptopdaemon)?
Fn + F2 should turn off the wireless card, but turns off KBluetoothD and the
bluetooth indicator goes out
On my system this is HW key and it turns on/off all wireless adapters (WiFi and Bluetooth). Therefore I suspect it is the same on your notebook and it turns off Bluetooth too.
Does it switch wireless off or not?
Fn+F3 is for the battery and works correctly
Do you mean it starts KLaptop applet?
I also have such kety (Fn+F8) and would be interested to know which keycode/keysym should the key generate in order to trigger KLaptop. Can you start "xev" and press the key and provide the output?
Fn+Page Up should turn up the sound, doesn't work
Fn+Page Dn should turn the sound down, doesn't work
Fn+End should mute, but doesn't work
You should check with xev what kind of keycodes this generates. KMilo handles this properly for standard keysyms:
XF86AudioMute XF86AudioLowerVolume XF86AudioRaiseVolumeYou may want to try System Settings -> Regional-> Keyboard Layout and select "Laptop/notebook Dell Inspirion..." - it may be that Inspirion has same keys as your notebook. For me, selecting Compaq (Armada) enabled volume keys.
Fn+Up increases the brightness which works correctly
Fn+Down decreases the brightness which works correctly
I think this is done in HW (true for my notebook).
I looked into updating the wiki page but the author of the page asked him to
be contacted but his email bounced for me.
Kubuntu is quite different than Ubuntu in terms of notebook support, therefore you may want to consider creating your own page anyhow.
I have done the same (after dicussing this with original page author) for my notebook, therefore I have created /Kubuntu sub-page:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/HPNW8240/Kubuntu
I was also wondering how much of the testing for the laptop team occurs on
Kubuntu?
I suppose not that many. :-(( At least there are not many LaptopTestingTeam pages with Kubuntu specific info.
Maybe we should for start create a wiki page for this: KubuntuLaptop and maybe describe what is done and should work and what it does not (and can be made manually).
