[Solved] Dead hotkeys after upgrade to linux 3.11

After upgrading the kernel to linux 3.11.1-1, some of the hotkeys (sleep, system preferences, wifi on/off) of my laptop stopped working.

I thought the problem was related to the bug about sleep/resume failure but, after upgrading to linux 3.11.1-2 that bug was gone while this one is still present.

uname -a:

Linux samy 3.11.1-2-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Sun Sep 22 20:14:40 CEST 2013 i686 GNU/Linux

The output of journalctl -f when pressing one of the dead hotkeys is:

sep 25 22:14:42 samy kernel: atkbd serio0: Unknown key pressed (translated set 2, code 0xb4 on isa0060/serio0).
sep 25 22:14:42 samy kernel: atkbd serio0: Use 'setkeycodes e034 <keycode>' to make it known.
sep 25 22:14:42 samy kernel: atkbd serio0: Unknown key released (translated set 2, code 0xb4 on isa0060/serio0).
sep 25 22:14:42 samy kernel: atkbd serio0: Use 'setkeycodes e034 <keycode>' to make it known.

Is there anyone else suffering this bug? Should I fill a bug report or there is something I'm missing?

EDIT: I'm still suffering the bug about sleep/resume failure but now it depends on the time that the pc sleeps. Nevertheless, I don't know if that bug is correlated to this one.

Re: [Solved] Dead hotkeys after upgrade to linux 3.11

The problem is still present in the 3.11.4-1 kernel. Nevertheless, I fixed it creating the script

#!/bin/sh
# Launch (3)
setkeycode e034 148
# Hibernate
setkeycodes e018 205
# WLAN
setkeycodes e016 238
# Sleep
setkeycodes e017 142

and calling it as a systemd service on boot (as explained here)
