The fn key issue turned out to be a conflict between two scripts, I
found it on another posting, sorry I can't remember the name of the
poster.

sudo gedit /etc/acpi/events/eee-wifi-off

then comment out the "action" and "events" lines

#FILE: /etc/acpi/events/eee-wifi-on
# This is called when the user presses the wifi on/off button (and wifi was on)

#event=hotkey ATKD 00000011
#action=/etc/acpi/eee-wifi-on-off.sh off

Then do the same for the eeee-wifi-on script.

sudo gedit /etc/acpi/events/eee-wifi-on

Then it's all good, you can turn your wifi on and off just like Asus
intended!
