Paul,

Here's what I did.

1. Open a terminal session. Home Screen > Accessories > Terminal.

2. Switch to super user.

sudo su

and enter your password.

3. Backup the eeepc-wireless-toggle.sh and eee-wifi-on-off.sh.

cp /etc/acpi/eeepc-wireless-toggle.sh /etc/acpi/eeepc-wireless-toggle.sh.bak
cp /etc/acpi/eee-wifi-on-off.sh /etc/acpi/eee-wifi-on-off.sh.bak

4. Download the 2 files Christopher mentioned above.

5. Move and overwrite the files with the downloaded versions. This is an
example where you downloaded to you home directory.

mv /home/user/eeepc-wireless-toggle.sh /etc/acpi/eeepc-wireless-toggle.sh
mv /home/user/acpi/eee-wifi-on-off.sh /etc/acpi/acpi/eee-wifi-on-off.sh

6. Exit terminal and reboot.

I found I didn't need to do any editing at all. If you want to edit a
file try.

sudo gedit /etc/acpi/eeepc-wireless-toggle.sh

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.
