Tested my EeePC 701 (4G) with Intrepid Alpha 5. The wireless key still
doesn't function out of the box.

Bug description:
I've compiled my own new version of the ath-pci module, so I can use the wireless on my Eee PC, but there is still one issue. If you disable the wireless using the hotkey, the atheros driver goes nuts because it can't talk to the hardware anymore.

This is fixed if I load the 'pciehp' module, with the 'pciehp_force=1' option. This might not be the cleanest way of loading, but it works.

I think this should be done automatically on the Eee PC.
