It looks like you want to map that keycode to "wlan".
Typically this is done via a hwdb entry, Have a look at
/lib/udev/hwdb.d/60-keyboard.hwdb for this.

See https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Map_scancodes_to_keycodes how
you can create such a custom hwdb entry for your hardware.

Once that hwdb entry is working correctly, please consider forwarding
this upstream at https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/new

Regards,
Michael
