On my eeepc 701 with Xubuntu Lucid installed, almost all the function
keys (F1-sleep, F2-WiFi on-off, F3-brightness down, F4-brightness up,
F7-volume mute, F8-volume down, and F9-volume up) work out of the box. I
have not yet tried the key to switch between internal and external
monitor.

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.
