Ah, old BIOS style. Let's see what happens.

It is supposed to be issuing KEY_WLAN.  You can remap it to anything you
want using input-kbd from input-utils.

What is the hotkey_mask and hotkey_recommended_mask the driver is giving you
(in sysfs) ?

Also, is the wireless slider working fine?  Does it report the events
properly (1 for slider in radios ON, 0 for slider in radios OFF)?  Does the
sysfs attribute work right?

Try using the sysfs interface to control brightness. If it works, fine. If
it doesn't, it means you need brightness_mode=3 (drop me a note in this
case).
