Oliver:
The eeepc kernel module should/will autoload if you are on a recognised EeePC (it does here on my 900 and I'd imagine most models older than 6 months are known).

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.
