When loading asus-laptop kernel modules instead of deprecated asus-acpi in Ubuntu 7.10 special keys stop working.
From /var/log/kern.log:
Mar 7 22:02:42 localhost kernel: [ 19.408000] asus-laptop: F5N model detected
(it will say Unsupported model with asus-acpi kernel module)
However some of the special keys stopped working, while others remained unsupported. This includes:

Button with asus-acpi with asus-laptop
Power button OK OK
Volume up OK OK
Volume down OK OK
Brightness up OK OK
Brightness down OK OK
NumLk OK OK
ScrLk OK will not turn ScrollLock LED on
Suspend OK OK
Wireless on/off OK stopped working with wireless LED always on
Media player does not generate events does not generate events
Power profile locks the screen locks the screen Comment: this button is non-configurable because of this
Web browser OK OK
Touchpad on/off does not generate events does not generate events
Web camera does not generate events does not generate events Comment: Fn+V, supposed to launch Camorama or similar app
Fn+C does not generate events does not generate events
Bluetooth LED OK (off) always on Comment: there is no bluetooth on this model

As you can see, only the very basic keys are supported, and virtually all Asus specific ones are broken in the new kernel module.
I am running Ubuntu 7.10 with up-to-date 2.6.22.14-generic SMP kernel.
