I can confirm too - I get the following as well:
$ hidd --show
60:FB:42:08:9D:B6 Apple Wireless Keyboard [05ac:0239] connected 

Took me a long time to figure this out! Boy, I wish I could use my new
Fn key.

Bug description:
Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6-amd64-generic

fn key is required on apple keyboards to do common functions (delete, 
pageup/down, home/end, volume, etc). The apple aluminum keyboard and new 
macbook3,1 ("Santa Rosa") are both affected.

Attached is a patch from the mactel-linux-devel list by Martin Szulecki 
<[email protected]> that adds the aluminum keyboard. I have modified the 
patch to include the macbok3,1 keyboard as well as additional keycodes that 
were present on "powerbook" keyboards (delete, pgup/down, home/end).

This patch has been tested on a macbook 3,1 by myself on an amd64 kernel.
