A Quick and Dirty hack in the meantime is changing the script /etc/acpi
/eee-wifi-on-off.sh and remove/uncomment all the

modprobe -r -q ...

under unload_modules() { ... } 
and replace them with 

modprobe -r -q rt2860sta

Also replace

modprobe sth_pci

with

modprobe rt2860sta

under load_modules()

works for me until something better comes along. I'm not sure, however,
if this really poweres down the wifi or if it just stops the wifi from
working...

Wireless is setup correctly, however when using the hotkey (FN&F2), the disable wireless icon appears - but the system then crashes.  Only responds to a hard shutdown.
