Rainer Rohde, given how each of the problems mentioned in your Bug Description are driven by different actors:
1) Fn+F2 = Toggle wifi on/off (works manually from the Network Indicator) -> Network Manager, WiFi driver, BIOS, and udev
2) Fn+F5/F6 = Adjust screen brightness (doesn't work at all, not even from the System Settings) -> Kernel, kernel quirk (or lack there of), BIOS, video driver, and udev
3) Fn+F9 = Toggle mousepad on/off (works manually from the System Settings) -> Kernel, BIOS, and udev

I would like to split each of these problems into their own separate
report to track and fix, as this would make it immensely easier for all
in isolating, triaging, and ultimately fixing.

Hence, let this report focus on 1) . Given this, with the 223 BIOS, did
this problem not occur in a release prior to Saucy?

Title:
  Regression - Several ACPI calls no longer work on ASUS G75VW

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Folks,

  I am currently on kernel version 3.11.0-2-generic, and the following
  (what I assume are) ACPI calls no longer work via Fn keys:

  Fn+F2 = Toggle wifi on/off (works manually from the Network Indicator)
  Fn+F5/F6 = Adjust screen brightness (doesn't work at all, not even from the System Settings)
  Fn+F9 = Toggle mousepad on/off (works manually from the System Settings)

  Up until  3.11.0-1-generic, my Fn+F3/F4 = Adjust keyboard backlight
  didn't work, either. This might be fixed in  3.11.0-2-generic, but I
  need to verify this.

  My /etc/default/grub entry for "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT reads
  "quiet splash acpi_osi=Linux acpi_backlight=vendor
  resume=/swapfile.swap" -- not sure if that makes a difference towards
  the ACPI calls...
