All of the fn keys are acting in reverse fashion on the HP Mini 210. For example, to press F10 you would press fn+VolumeUp. In Maverick this increases the volume. Pressing only the VolumeUp key sends F10. This is the exact opposite of how it should work. This worked as expected in Lucid (2.6.32-25). I've checked the keyboard shortcuts and they are set up the same as they were on Lucid.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Try to increase the volume by pressing the VolumeUp key
2. Try to press F10 by pressing fn+VolumeUp
What happens:
1. Nothing because F10 is sent instead of VolumeUp
2. The volume is increased.
What should happen:
1. The volume should be increased.
2. F10 should be pressed.
Substitute any of the special fn keys in the steps above, they're all reversed.

Did you change the setting in the bios? In bios you can set it to need fn-key to use function key or to use fn-key for the special keys.
I have an hpmini 210 and no problems.
