Mario, 
I tried to set /sys/module/hid/parameters/pb_fnmode to 2 by writing the 
following line:  
sudo echo 2 >/sys/module/hid/parameters/pb_fnmode
but i get a "permission denied" error.  Is there a better way to change this 
setting?

Furthermore if changing this setting is needed for making the Apple
keyboard work, shouldn't this be the default setting? I would hate Hardy
to be released with this sort of quirk.

I did some more testing with the old kernel (2.6.24-11.17) and the
keyboard just worked as I would expect. The Num-lock key worked as for a
normal keyboard, all the F* keys worked and the "<" key was not swapped
with the "½" key. The only key not working was the "fn" key, but that is
a minor loss. All the multimedia functions on the F* keys could just be
set by using the "Keyboard Shortcut" applet. So in my perspective the
change introduced is a serious regression. For the record lsusb reports
the following ID for my keyboard: "ID 05ac:0221 Apple Computer, Inc. ".

Eric, 
I just copied your hid.ko (the i386 version) to 
/lib/modules/2.6.24-12-generic/kernel/drivers/hid/hid.ko and rebooted. There 
seems to be no change or improvement. Can I somehow verify, that the correct 
module is loaded?
