TJ: yes, I am affected. Trying wistron_btns with sudo modprobe wistron_btns force=1 keymap=1557/MS2141 I get the buttons working (I checked in xev) and actions can be assigned to them, But the button to RF kill switch is not working. So basicaly, it works the same as acerhk without the modprobe options.
I tried to mail the author of the driver (wistron_btns), but he did not respond, I did not persuade it further. information as requested: Linux bill 2.6.27-11-generic #1 SMP Thu Jan 29 19:24:39 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux No LSB modules are available.
