Bug#898260: systemd: HP notebook ZBook 17 G4 - WLAN hardware button not working

[René Krell]

Package: systemd
Version: 238-4
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream

Dear Maintainer,

this is reported for a HP ZBook 17 G4:

The WLAN hardware button does not reposnd at all, but is deactivated
the whole time (orange background light).

When pressing it, the following lines are added to the /var/log/message
s file:
May  8 22:22:50 rkrell kernel: [40955.295433] atkbd serio0: Unknown key
pressed (translated set 2, code 0xf8 on isa0060/serio0).
May  8 22:22:50 rkrell kernel: [40955.295440] atkbd serio0: Use
'setkeycodes e078 <keycode>' to make it known.
May  8 22:22:50 rkrell kernel: [40955.469669] atkbd serio0: Unknown key
released (translated set 2, code 0xf8 on isa0060/serio0).
May  8 22:22:50 rkrell kernel: [40955.469675] atkbd serio0: Use
'setkeycodes e078 <keycode>' to make it known.

I'd expect the WLAN hardware button to respond immediately on pressing
it to toggle WLAN on/off.
Furthermore I'd appreciate to toggle the background light of the button
(on - white, off - orange) when activating WLAN by software, for
instance in NetworkManager.

In comparison, the sound on/off hardware button works accordingly out
of the box.
