I had missed this, do you have some recommendations on what would be
better codes to map this to?

I'll double check what the things that "were" mapping to KEY_PROG1 etc
actually were.  This might be a case of an expected clash if the functions
aren't in current generations.

It's worth mentioning that Wifi Catcher hasn't been used for any Dell laptops
for a handful generations.  The rugged 2in1's are current generation that have 
these programmable buttons and don't have wifi catcher.

So there should be no "real" clash here.

In this particular case, I was thinking PROG1/2/3 were really the best option
and would be most intuitive because the keys really are labels "P1" "P2" and
"P3".

Here's the front of the tablet:

OK.
