The real problem is not the "unknown key" message but the fact that Fn+F2 sort of works, turning the wireless led on and off on Asus Eee PC 1000H and fatally confusing rt2800pci:

1. disable wireless via network-manager

2. press Fn+F2 (led goes off)

3. press Fn+F2 again (led goes on)

4. try to enable wireless via network-manager

In dmesg:

[ 603.242683] eeepc_wmi: Unknown key 88 pressed
[ 621.596234] phy0 -> rt2800_wait_csr_ready: Error - Unstable hardware.
[ 621.596765] phy0 -> rt2x00pci_regbusy_read: Error - Indirect register access failed: offset=0x00007010, value=0xffffffff

If wireless is not disabled via network-manager prior to pressing Fn+F2, the kernel log gets permanently flooded with this last line, but with different offset values. The only way to recover is to reboot.
