hi, after fresh install of ubuntu-eee-8.04.1.iso on Asus EEE 1000H i had
the same result: system freeze when hitting Fn+F2 (wireless was off and
i tried to switch it on).

I logged back into window to see what happens if i switch it on and
reboot ubuntu. Surprisingly when i hit Fn+F2 under windows, it also
freezes.

Restarting under Ubuntu, I replaced the two files that Christopher
kindly provided - now I was able to switch the wireless network on/off,
however it is not 100% reliable - still occasionally it freezes when i
use that key.

Bug description:
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.
