Rezwanul, I've updated my bios to A11 and installed a new unmodified kernel. The issue still persists that the eject key produces "dell-wmi: Unknown key 0 pressed" in the dmesg output and it doesn't work. It is possible that Ubuntu is including patches to fix stuff. The latest patch for the Lucid kernel at http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux/linux_2.6.32-22.36.diff.gz does include patches that touch wmi and dell-wmi code, but I can't find a specific change that would fix this issue. I might try to selectively apply patches from it and see if it gets fixed. Thanks.
