Public bug reported:

Following directions from
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Hotkeys/Troubleshooting

The eject key (Fn + F6) is not mapped correctly for my system:
sys_vendor Alienware 
product_name M14xR1

All other keys (media, volume, brightness, wireless) are working correctly
There are a few other keys that do nothing, however I am not completely sure what they should do. I will boot windows and check later.

Description:	Ubuntu 11.10
Release:	11.10

udev:
  Installed: 173-0ubuntu4
  Candidate: 173-0ubuntu4
  Version table:
 *** 173-0ubuntu4 0
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

To fix I created a keymap file and added a rule for it in
/lib/udev/rules.d/95-keymap.rules
