No... the hotkeys appear as event7, but when I press Fn+F2 repeatedly, input-events shows nothing and eventually exits after timing out.

I've attached a tarball that contains syslog, dmesg after the wifi stops working, and the output of rfkill showing the block on and off.
As I mentioned before, even when rfkill shows the softblock off and Enable Wireless is checked in the Networking indicator menu, the wi-fi device on this EeePC won't come back on until I've done a full reboot.
