> options pciehp pciehp_force=1 pciehp_slot_with_bus=1

pciehp_slot_with_bus?? .. that is new to me, and not a standard pciehp
module parameter. (at least its not in 2.6.27.y.git or linux-tip.git)

Where/how did "pciehp_slot_with_bus" get added?

I have heard from EeePC >= 901 owners though that "pciehp_poll_time=1"
is needed for the newer ralink wireless toggling, but that one is a
standard parameter.

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.
