acer-acpi will (hopefully) get the wireless key to act like one. Cool.

I've been able to remap the e button fine.
Need to be able to remap the other non-responding buttons.

I managed to find the scancodes ... they produced an error in syslog
suggesting I use setkeycode to ... well...

Looking at:
wifi, euro and dollar buttons.

wifi returns scancodes e055 and e056 alternately
euro returns e033
dollar returns e034

setkeycode lots me map these to 0-127, but I'm not sure how useful that
is. All those have a response right?

Now - none of these keys show an event anyplace else, like xev.

hotkey-setup is installed, but no man page.
How do I handle this?
