Public bug reported:

I'm using an Acer Aspire One 532h with integrated 3G modem. The with the
Fn+F2 key I should be able to toggle the status of wifi and 3G (at least
with Windows 7). As the Fn+F2 key does not produce any events in Ubuntu,
I'm unable to use my 3G modem. I also can't turn wifi off, eg. when
going on an airplane.

wifi on, 3g off <-- default mode at start-up.
wifi off, 3g on
wifi on, 3g on
wifi off, 3g off

I already tries this with the latest upstream kernel, same for standard lucid kernel.
I also tried the usual suspects and did not find any events for this key: dmesg, xev,showkey

Other keys such as brightness, suspend, etc. work fine.
