hi --

i upgraded from ubuntu feisty to gutsy yesterday, and am going through
and testing to find collateral damage.

my wireless hotkey is no longer responding.

    $ cat /etc/acpi/events/ibm-wireless
    # /etc/acpi/events/ibmwireless
    # This is called when the user presses the wireless button and calls
    # /etc/acpi/wireless.sh for further processing.

    event=ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 00001005
    action=/etc/acpi/ibm-wireless.sh

the script (/etc/acpi/ibm-wireless.sh) is present.

but when i hit the key, i get nothing in /var/log/acpid at all.  i do
get other events (lid, power, battery, etc), but nothing for the wireless
key.  who's stealing that event?
