[Sebastian Mares <262679@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

On my 1005HGO (1005HAG with UMTS modem) running Xubuntu 10.10, the
following keys work:

Volume up (F12), Volume down (F11), Mute (F10), Brightness up (F6),
Brightness down (F5) and Sleep (F1).

The following keys do not work:

Display off (F7), Mousepad off (F3), WLAN off (F2) and the non-keyboard
button for turning off the mousepad.

Since I don't have an external display to test, I cannot tell if the
Switch dsplay (F8) key works. I also don't know what exactly the F4 key
does. Its icon is a rectangle with rounded corners and inside there are
four arrows pointing outwards to the edges - reminds me of a full-screen
key or something. I also cannot test the F9 key that opens the task
manager under Windows because I don't have any graphical task manager
installed.

By the way, all Fn keys that don't trigger "special" actions, such as
Home, End, Page up, Page down, Num lock, etc. work fine.

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.
