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: http://
Volume Hotkeys: http://
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.

I can confirm that the wireless and volume hotkeys do not work(although I upgraded from 7.10 to 8.04, I made no configuration changes before upgrading)
