Well, since I don't have /etc/acpi at all it looks like this switch works without any soft support at all. So I guess it just can't be disabled.
unless you install acpid and acpi-eeepc-generic. acpid puts acpi event-handling in userspace, so then you can /dev/null fn+f2. acpi-eeepc-generic provides all the expected functionality and very straight-forward bash-script configuration for acpid.

AFAIK, that won't work because the wifi hotkey is handled by the eee-laptop kernel module. Or, at least it is on my 1005HA. I don't believe there is a way to stop the module from processing certain hotkeys, other than removing it altogether.
