Changes for the volume and network switch have been incorporated in the linux kernel since this commit:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=a195dcdcff33b8ef01a23cbc489fdfcdfa28c88e

Those changes have been chipped with kernel 2.6.29 and are in Karmic.

It can still be required to manually add the eeepc-laptop kernel module but aside of that, everything should work out of the box.
(If not, it's probably a bug in this kernel driver)

Bug description:
Binary package hint: eeepc-acpi-scripts

eeepc-acpi-scripts depends on acpi-support-base, which is not available in intrepid. Furthermore, the scripts attempt to load the ath_pci module, which is known not to work with the eeepc. Instead it needs to be updated to use the ath5k module which is included with 2.6.27 kernel, and works fine, providing the ath_pci driver is blacklisted. Otherwise, there is no point in having the package available.
