Public bug reported:

The rfkill key (Fn+F2) on my EeePC 701 (running Ubuntu Netbook Remix)
does nothing by default. xev shows it correctly generates XF86WLAN when
pressed.

Following a suggestion found at
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=485322, modprobing rfkill-
input makes it work correctly.

(After modprobing rfkill-input and using Fn+F2 to disable the wireless,
the driver gets confused by the sudden removal of the hardware and
becomes unable to recover until a reboot; even suspending/resuming is
not enough. But that is a separate bug.)

I have no idea which package should be responsible for modprobing it. I
chose module-init-tools to start with since it owns /etc/modules.
