Title:
  12.04 and earlier ignore "www" key on HP EliteBook 8440p

Status in “systemd” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  See also https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/749839

  In 12.04 and earlier releases back to 11.04 on my HP EliteBook 8440p,
  key presses of the "www" (globe) key are ignored. Key presses of the
  other multimedia keys (Mail, Mute, Volume Up, Volume Down) are
  detected.

  The attached rules file fixes the problem, with this addition to
  /lib/udev/rules.d/95-keymap.rules after LABEL="keyboard_vendorcheck":

      ENV{DMI_VENDOR}=="Hewlett-Packard",
  ATTR{[dmi/id]product_name}=="HP EliteBook 8440p", RUN+="keymap $name
  hewlett-packard_elitebook-8440p"
