The Fn-F5 key on my Thinkpad T60 used to just toggle bluetooth on and off. There is a hardware wireless switch so I don't need the Fn-F5 key to toggle wireless also. The real problem is that it doesn't allow you to toggle them independently even if you wanted to. It toggles BOTH wireless and bluetooth on and off together. Downgrading to hal-info-20090414 restores the previous behavior. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Upgrade to hal-info-20090716 on a Lenovo TP 2. Press Fn-F5 Actual Results: Bluetooth and Wireless toggle together Expected Results: Only bluetooth should be toggled
Please try 20091130, if that doesn't work, please report upstream.
FYI, upgrading to hal-info-20091130 doesn't help. Here is the diff, which occurred in June 2009: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/hal-info/commit/?id=e0d95232f8f363b7f08f1b21c7ff5ac74621ee5a It argues that Fn+F5 being mapped to KEY_WLAN is the correct behavior, as well as the behavior consistent with the thinkpad-acpi kernel module. Before, Fn+F5 was being remapped to KEY_RADIO, which is reserved for tuner cards and the like. Apparently in Windows Fn+F5 brings up a ThinkVantage menu that lets you choose both the wireless and Bluetooth states; there is no kernel keycode meant to handle everything (e.g., "KEY_WIRELESS"). My workaround is to use Fn+F6 (also reported as a hotkey) as the Bluetooth toggle via acpid. This way Fn+F5 toggles wireless, Fn+F6 toggle Bluetooth, and the kill switch on the edge of the case turns off both. If you insist on having Fn+F5 toggle the wireless, you can revert to the earlier behavior by putting a custom 30-keymap-module-thinkpad-acpi.fdi in /etc/hal/fdi/information ... I hope this is helpful.
