This patch adds Acer TravelMate 240 support to the wistron button
interface. This means that the buttons on top of the
keyboard(including ones for Wifi and Bluetooth), which hitherto did
not work, work now. I have tested it on my laptop and it seems to work
great.

Please check that the ACPI "button.ko" driver can't provide the
functionality; newer laptops apparently work better with that driver
(http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/12/2/61).

Thanks,

The Acer TravelMate 240 laptop supports ACPI, but the ACPI does not
support hotkeys. Hence hotkeys just would not work without this
module.

I added this to my input tree.
