Bug#490354: Add atl2 support to kernel-wedge

Upstream is working on including it. From what I can see, the kernel
team want it integrated with atl1 which appears to be a stumbling block.
The last mail I can find about it on netdev [1] is quite old, i'll try
and chase up the latest status of this.

No

In my 486 2.6.25 its 33727B

The eeepc would then be fully supported (apart from wireless which is
not really required) by the installer. One of the main goals for the
debian-eeepc project is to try and get it supported by d-i so that we
don't have to maintain our own installer.
I'll also take a look at hw-detect.
