Huh. I thought I had reports from our (Debian Eee PC's) users that this
worked with beta2, so I'm not sure using the latest snapshot would make
anything better. See my earlier link to notes in our wiki on 1215P, as
there are specific suggestions there as to what needs to be done to make
it work: including specifying acpi_osi="Linux" boot parameter, and the
firmware is apparently necessary to make *both* wifi and ethernet work.
This might be another manifestation of #573607 which unfortunately would
need yet another exception made to disable hotplugging for that specific
model# (not a great solution because new models keep coming out,
requiring an exception to be made for each one).
If that's the case, ultimately the solution is to replace eeepc_laptop
with eeepc_wmi. I worked with upstream testing a backport he made for
2.6.32 but there are so many things that this would break at this point
(plus it requires a patch to the acpi module to even work) that it's
kind of too late to think about including this in Squeeze. :(

Lennart, how do you figure Dec. 20th? 2.6.32-28 migrated to testing Nov.
28th according to PTS ...
