Public bug reported:

Using the hardy Kernel, I can't switch on my wlan card by pressing the 
functional keys on my notebook (this notebook: 
http://www.notebookinfo.de/preise/id/4611/activated/DatasheetURL/ )
The card is recognized by iwconfig but the Wifi-LED doesn't shine, so i think 
the card is just switched off. 

When i press the functional keys, this appears in dmesg: 
Apr 30 00:04:33 soeren-ubuntu kernel: [ 1317.874388] atkbd.c: Unknown key 
pressed (translated set 2, code 0x88 on isa0060/serio0).
Apr 30 00:04:33 soeren-ubuntu kernel: [ 1317.874394] atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes 
e008 <keycode>' to make it known.

But this appears with the Gutsy-Kernel (2.6.22-14-generic), too, although the 
activation and deactivation of the wlan card works there. 
I can't see any acpi-events, using acpi_listen. 

It appears to me like a problem with the bcm43xx-module, because the old
one of the 2.6.22-14-Kernel works fine, but with the hardy-Kernel, there
seems to be no chance.

Here some additional information:
