I have pulled that patch and applied it to the latest Jaunty kernel.
Could those with this hardware test the kernels at the URL below and
report back here, specifically whether the hotkeys etc work as expected.
The kernels are here:

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:

Volume 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.
