Hi Matt, thanks for your response.

I looked at tbp. It seems like it's use is for remapping "back" 
"forward" "home" buttons etc. Not working with function keys. I imagine 
that the functionality I'm looking for is one that is supported with a 
windows driver.

I could always reprogram it to modprobe -r my wlan driver :)

Thanks!
