Bug#631664: Wishlist: Add support for software-rf-switch in Fujitsu-Siemens notebook

Hi,

My notebook is an Fujitsu Siemens Amilo A1655G, which has a
software-based RF-Switch. My wireless network card (
Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN
Controller (rev 02), ID 14e4:4318) would be unusable if there wasn't a
project like http://sourceforge.net/projects/fsaa1655g/ which brings
support at least for kernel 2.6.26. But there isn't any support beyond
kernel 2.6.26.

I notice that the wistron_btns driver has support for some other Amilo
laptops.  The source says:

  /*
   * If your machine is not here (which is currently rather likely), please send
   * a list of buttons and their key codes (reported when loading this module
   * with force=1) and the output of dmidecode to $MODULE_AUTHOR.
   */

Tino (or anyone with this hardware), could you send dmesg output from

	modprobe wistron_btns force=1

and dmidecode (or "grep . /sys/class/dmi/id/*_{vendor,name,version}"
as Ben suggested)?

Thanks,
Jonathan

Hi,
I'm sorry for the long delay but I can use the laptop only on weekend. Here is the output: 

# modprobe wistron_btns force=1

and
