You can also try Acer-Hotkeys for 32bit (not working on 64bit systems! Check with "uname -a"):

http://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic/ac.../#post-2670605

Code:

wget https://launchpad.net/~cogito-16/+archive/ppa/+files/acerhk-source_0.5.35-13a_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i acer*.deb
sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-headers-$(uname -r) build-essential module-assistant debhelper
cd /usr/src
sudo tar -xjf acerhk.tar.bz2 
sudo mv /usr/src/modules/ /usr/src/acerhk-0.5.35/
gksudo gedit /usr/src/acerhk-0.5.35/dkms.conf

Insert the following:

Code:

PACKAGE_NAME=acerhk
PACKAGE_VERSION=0.5.35

DEST_MODULE_LOCATION=/extra
BUILT_MODULE_NAME=acerhk
BUILT_MODULE_LOCATION=acerhk/

MAKE="'make' -C acerhk/ all"
CLEAN="'make' -C acerhk/ clean"
AUTOINSTALL="yes"

save and close.

Test:

Code:

sudo dkms add -m acerhk -v 0.5.35

If it works without error, compile and install:

Code:

sudo dkms build -m acerhk -v 0.5.35 
sudo dkms install -m acerhk -v 0.5.35

Load the module:

Code:

sudo modprobe -v acerhk
sudo rfkill unblock all

I solved this problem using this procedure (I have a Toshiba p755 with a AR9285)

"With the battery and AC adapter removed, close the Power switch for half-a-minute.
Re-attach those, press the Power button to turn the computer on, and then immediately press the F2 key while the Toshiba logo is displayed. Press F9 to restore the BIOS default settings, press F10, and then select Yes (Exit Saving Changes). The computer will restart.
