All the changes suggested make some sense but there seems to be a more
basic problem to the configuration. If you check what code is being
called by the event handlers in /etc/acpi/events, you will see a couple
of things.

o /etc/acpi/eee-wifi-on-off.sh is being called for the eee-wifi-on and eee-wifi-off events.
o /etc/acpi/eeepc-hotkeys.sh is being called for eee-hotkey events. 
o /etc/acpi/eeepc-wireless-toggle.sh is being called from /etc/acpi/eeepc-hotkeys.sh for eee-wifi-on and eee-wifi-off events.

So on my system (a 901), the hotkeys are being toggled by both the
eeepc-wireless-toggle.sh and by eee-wifi-on-off.sh. It therefore is
toggled twice for every function key press and appears to never change
state except for a blink in the wireless light on the case.

The events list is set sometime in init.d or ifup but I have not yet run
that down. That is probably the right place to fix the configuration
problem. In the end, only one of eeepc-wireless-toggle.sh or eee-wifi-
on-off.sh is needed since they do the same thing.

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.
