Perhaps we can change the title of this bug to "misc asus modules issues". rmmod asus-wmi then modprobe asus-nb-wmi leads to a complete nonsense behaviour of the fn + {brightness,sound volume,other fn keys} , not depending whether asus_atk0110 is loaded.
(I have no time to work on that currently) But reading: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1173107 it looks like https://github.com/iksaif/acpi4asus-dkms/commit/f110ad8060cbd98a3a70ad6662c502373bd68b3b should be reverted (not exactly this patch since it's in another repo, but the actual patch should be easy to find). People may already have sent a fix on the platform-drivers-x86 mailing list.
okay. Do I need to provide any additional information/do something else ? FYI I do get something when I run acpi_listen and hit fn keys: acpi_listen: PNP0C14:01 000000ff 00000000

problem kindof solved by adding modprobe asus-nb-wmi to /etc/rc.modules ; I have the fn keys functional now. I close the bug
also make sure that in the /etc/grub/default, the only acpi related option is acpi_osi=Linux ; with acpi_backlight=vendor, the brightness keys didnt trigger an XF86 event
