Hello,
The key between the keys [esc] and [tab] (view picture bellow) is recognized as a key tab.
Before, I used an AZERTY layout, and on AZERTY this key is pretty useless (square exponent).
But I have switched to a BÉPO layout (french ergonomic layout, like dvorak) and I need this key (it's now dollar and sharp symbols).
After some tests, it's appear than this key and the tab key have the same scancode:
[killruana@fanstasmic ~]$ sudo showkey --scancodes
[sudo] password for killruana:
kb mode was UNICODE
[ if you are trying this under X, it might not work
since the X server is also reading /dev/console ]
press any key (program terminates 10s after last keypress)...
0x0f 0x8f
0x0f 0x8f
the first "0x8f 0x0f" is pressing the Tab key, the second is pressing the dollar key.
And obviously, the two keys have the same keycode:
[killruana@fanstasmic ~]$ sudo showkey
kb mode was UNICODE
[ if you are trying this under X, it might not work
since the X server is also reading /dev/console ]
press any key (program terminates 10s after last keypress)...
keycode 15 press
keycode 15 release
keycode 15 press
keycode 15 release
Again, first is the tab key and second is the dollar key.
The keyboard is the keyboard of my laptop (HP Pavilion DV6).
How I can fix it?

You did not mention it; have you seen this wiki article?

I have seen it, and I don't found useful informations for my problem.

I re-read your post more carefully. You are right. Sorry about that. Take a look at the output of lsmod. Do you have the following modules:
hp_wmi 7595 0
sparse_keymap 3146 1 hp_wmi

Yes, I have.

I think you are missing a kernel module having to do with WMI, but I have to step away to a meeting that will take several hours. I'll get back to you later.....

For information, other keys (including multimedia keys) are working properly.

Still in meeting?

Nope, and I have not forgotten about you either. I have not come up with anything useful as yet
