Tested my EeePC 701 (4G) with Intrepid Alpha 5. The function keys are
still not working as expected:

Fn+F1       Standby                  Works
Fn+F2       WiFi-enable             Does not work
Fn+F3/F4  Brightness control    Works but with a lot of lag, not as responsive as usual
Fn+F5       VGA-toggle             Does Volume up?!
Fn+F6       Task-Manager         Does not work
Fn+F7       Mute/Unmute          Does not work
Fn+F8       Volume down          Does not work
Fn+F9       Volume up              Does not work

Bug description:
The Asus EeePC is a popular subnotebook computer.

With a fresh install of Ubuntu 8.04 LTS (Hardy Heron) the wireless (fn+f2) and volume hotkeys (fn+f7/f8/f9) do not function.

Expected function:
fn+f2: Toggle wireless
fn+f7: Mute/Unmute
fn+f8: Volume up
fn+f9: Volume down

Workarounds are documented here:
Wireless Hotkey: http://wiki.eeeuser.com/getting_ubuntu_8.04_to_work_perfectly#wifi_hotkeys
Volume Hotkeys: http://wiki.eeeuser.com/getting_ubuntu_8.04_to_work_perfectly#hotkeys
Although I have not had much success at getting these working myself.

It would be great if these would work out-of-the-box with 8.04.1 or Intrepid.
