Bug Description
On my X1 Carbon laptop the wireless switch key doesn't work. It appears that the code in charge of handling the X1 Carbon adaptive keyboard is here and rfkill handling is there: https:/
Pressing the key generates no events (see below) and thus has no effect. So, it's either my stock kernel doesn't have it, or something else is broken. Nothing ever fires when I press all extra buttons including the wireless one:
ls /dev/input/

So, since nothing fires on both channels, it seems I can't manually bind the button to rfkill either.
WORKAROUND: Add custom rule to /etc/acpi/events and bound handling to a different adaptive button that does generate a acpi event.
