I can confirm both problems in Intrepid.

First: the European Apple Wireless Keyboard's id is 0x022d. Adding this
manually to core.c of the hidp module and recompiling the module used to
work in 7.10 for me.

Second: now in 8.10, even after recompiling the module, the FN-key still
doesn't work. hidd returns

xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx Apple Wireless Keyboard [0000:0000] connected

just the way  MrMEEE said. For me also it used to return
manufacturer/product codes.

I installed a new version of bluez (4.31), but the values returned are
still 0000:0000.

Who should I report this to? Is this the fault of bluez? It's really
annoying that the Apple Keyboard's FN key doesn't work, even after
jumping through the hoops of patching and recompiling the module.

Also, shouldn't adding the quirk be some sort of a load option for hidp?
e.g. modprobe hidp option=HID_QUIRK_APPLE_HAS_FN so new keyboards will
not have to be explicitly implemented in module code and users can
simply enable additional buttons through module options?
