    You might reach out to the Kali developers and tell them it was working with the previous base Ubuntu version and not now. They could potentially point you at what drivers were removed/changed to break the functionality and maybe even get a fix rolled into the next updates.

    Yes, this is expected since the Windows specific drivers for the keyboard shortcuts aren't loaded.

    Thank You billsey,
    It is working in windows 10 and the versions of ubuntu 2016, But fn + f2 (wifi hardware switch) not working with newest ubuntu 18.94 LTS /19.10 and kali 2020.1. I installed drivers to kali linux, wifi adapter recognized but saying " switched off by wifi hardware button".

    ps. other fn keys are working like volume/ brightness.
