Andy: The last patch I referred to is for wifi only and has nothing to do with volume keys. It is solely so that wifi works out of the box (hotplugging and all) without having to add special options to the kernel command line.
Be careful though - the patch in its current state will break those who are using the workaround (see http://marc.info/?l=linux- acpi&m=123540718932584&w=4 . I can't say I like it but still). -- EeePC Volume and Wireless Hotkeys Do Not Function Out-Of-The-Box with Ubuntu (8.04 Hardy LTS, Intrepid Alpha 1) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/232170 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu EEEPC, which is a direct subscriber.

With a fresh install of Ubuntu 8.04 LTS (Hardy Heron) the wireless (fn+f2) and volume hotkeys (fn+f7/f8/f9) do not function. Expected function: fn+f2: Toggle wireless fn+f7: Mute/Unmute fn+f8: Volume up fn+f9: Volume down Workarounds are documented here: Wireless Hotkey: http://wiki.eeeuser.com/getting_ubuntu_8.04_to_work_perfectly#wifi_hotkeys Volume Hotkeys: http://wiki.eeeuser.com/getting_ubuntu_8.04_to_work_perfectly#hotkeys Although I have not had much success at getting these working myself. It would be great if these would work out-of-the-box with 8.04.1 or Intrepid. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-eeepc Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-eeepc More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
