FYI:      Same issue on new HPdv6809 laptop 
My workaround for now, [shutoff switch] insert Belkin USB and all works fine. 

I appreciate all these efforts and not sure Linux folks should be
working on this [except it did work on -12, see Bug#228548].

MY2cents: Hardware folks should be more OSF compliant/standard when
developing these 'new ' cards.

The Eee PC has non-working wireless out of the box. A patch is available from the madwifi website:

I'd like to have working wireless in hardy, without having to patch/compile manually :)
