I finally got a chance to play with this. Turns out asus-laptop DOES work. It however does NOT work if asus-acpi is already loaded, which for some reason udev likes to do automatically because both claim to support the same devices, but they sure aren't equal.
Now once asus-acpi is unloaded and asus-laptop loaded, then it does appear to do stuff. fn+f2 does manage to do something, although not consistently or very reliably, but I suspect that may be a user space acpi events problem to do with the scripts that are run when the key is hit, so I have to play with that a bit more.
It does appear that when loaded, the wifi rf_kill is cleared, but after hitting fn+f2 a few times, it gets set again and never clears after that other than by unloading and reloading asus-laptop, so something fishy is still going on.
