I found the similar bug appeared on my eeepc 900ha.

 uname -a
Linux lucid-desktop 2.6.32-21-generic #32-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 16 08:10:02 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux

When the system start, "lspci" will apear:

01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Atheros AR8121/AR8113/AR8114 PCI-E Ethernet Controller (rev b0)
02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5001 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01)

When toggle Fn + F2 off, it will disable ethernet card. I haven't test
if wi-fi connection(I will report later). "lspci" will only apear:

02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5001 Wireless
Network Adapter (rev ff)

It seems toggle Fn + F2 off is close ethernet and not wireless!

When added "eeepc_laptop" into /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf, the
ethernet card works well while the wireless lamp is off. But all the Fn
functions also were disabled.

It seems a bug concerning "eeepc_laptop" module in linux kernel.

Here is my network related "lshw" command result:
