I have a Dell Inspiron 6400n with pre-installed Ubuntu 7.04 (plus updates), kernel 2.6.20-16-generic #2 SMP.
Occasionally when coming out of memory suspend, certain Fn+X key combinations stop working. This includes Fn+F2 (radio kill) and Fn+F10 (optical drive eject), but not volume or brightness controls. (I also sometimes lose the whole keyboard and touchpad, but I can get those back by forcing another suspend and resume.) The key codes are being received at some level since dmesg reports atkbd.c: Unknown key pressed... which it always does when the combination is pressed. Missing is the message from ipw3945 about the new Radio Kill switch status. Nothing I have tried fixes this, except a reboot. Until now, I suspected the BIOS was at fault as I assumed the atkbd message meant the kernel was not processing the key event at all. Next time I will check to see if /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ipw3945/*/rf_kill changes when the combination is pressed. In normal use it goes from 0 kill-off to 2 kill-on back to 0 again (with EBUSY for a bit just after a transition from 2 to 0).
