I have an Asus Eee Pc 1016p with Ubuntu 10.10 (fresh install) and many Fn+F key combinations don't work. When the key combination is pressed, the line "eeepc_wmi: Unknown key XX pressed" appears at /var/log/messages.
Specifically:
Fn+F2 (turn wireless off) reports "eeepc_wmi: Unknown key 88 pressed".
Fn+F3 (disable touchpad) reports "eeepc_wmi: Unknown key 6b pressed".
Fn+F4 (monitor resolution) reports "eeepc_wmi: Unknown key e1 pressed".
Fn+F7 (monitor off) reports "eeepc_wmi: Unknown key e9 pressed".
Fn+F9 (start system monitor/task manager) reports "eeepc_wmi: Unknown key e0 pressed".
This seems related to bugs #662365 and #680741, although these bugs have been reported for different computers of the same Asus Eee Pc line.

For WLAN key, someone has dealt with that in bug 662365.
