I am unable to toggle wireless on/off, mute/unmute, play/pause using Front operation panel LED keys on my Toshiba Qosmio F60. Currently I need to enable WiFi/Bluetooth from within Windows for it to work. Fn+F8 toggle works as soft block/unblock only if I have already enabled WiFi under Windows. Any ideas as how this can be done? The only LED Touch button that works under Debian/Ubuntu/Fedora is the Volume Up/Down button. Touchpad on/off toggle does not work with physical button or Fn+F9 either. Other Fn+ keys work eg., Fn+Esc for mute/unmute, Fn+F1 for lock etc. These problems seems related to Direct App Launch Button which probably can be solved in Linux by quickstart http://quickstart.sourceforge.net/ I had raised a thread in Ubuntu, Debian, Red Har forums as well http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2150307 http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1089 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1074504 The buttons look like this http://www.manualslib.com/manual/180150/Toshiba-Qosmio-F60.html?page=159#manual
(Moving to ACPI as a starting point - please reassign as appropriate)
Hi, asus-laptop is in charge of key function on Asus laptop. So reassign to platform/x86 category.

It should be toshiba acpi driver but the category is correct. The driver is also under /driver/platform/x86 directory.
Interestingly even when the WiFi is turned off from within Windows on booting Arch with a pen-drive wifi-menu command detects all surrounding wireless networks properly for the first time. Even rfkill shows as hardware unblocked. But once a network is selected it fails and the subsequent rfkill commands show as hardware blocked. I have observed this while trying to install Ubuntu from pen-drive as well.

The solution at the below link to enable the front panel buttons by Azael Avalos <coproscefalo@gmail.com> seems to be closer. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/linux.kernel/Azael$20Avalos/linux.kernel/PSX32rua14U/uX46FYsoxh0J
