[Bug 262679] Re: eeepc-acpi-scripts is not installable

 

fioghual:
That issue (hotkeys not working on 2009+ Eeepcs like the 1005HA) is different to this one (it's hard to tell that though). That is somewhat covered by Bug #505452.

I suspect this bug report is at risk of becoming too general...

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.
