work on the 900A when it works on other machines.  Maybe we can fix
it.
I don't have any idea why, but it's definitely not working here. I'm
happy to help however I can

Does dmesg show any errors during the initialisation of eeepc-laptop?

I would be interested in the full output of dmesg and acpidump.

I don't see anything out-of-place in dmesg, but I've never seen the
successful version, so my eyes are likely not the best to look at it.
full output of dmesg is attached,
[   10.405347] eeepc: Eee PC Hotkey Driver
[   10.406016] eeepc: Hotkey init flags 0x41
[   10.406214] eeepc: Get control methods supported: 0x181701
[   10.406403] input: Asus EeePC extra buttons as
/devices/virtual/input/input1

Thanks.  I don't see any problem here.

how would I get you the acpidump?
Simples :-).  It'll be 100k+ so I guess it's best to send off-list (or
use pastebin etc).

sudo apt-get install acpidump
sudo acpidump > acpidump.out


Also, can you please run a test for me?  It should help confirm that
the problem is what it looks like.  Without pciehp loaded, what is the
result of

cat /sys/bus/pci/slots/eeepc-wifi/adaptor

both after you disable the wifi, and then after you enable it again.

Sorry, thats "adapter" with an e... and it won't help.

Let's check what happens to the network interface instead. Does the
directory "/sys/class/net/wlan0" still exist when you disable the
wireless (without pciehp loaded)?

Thanks
Alan

Here's my command record for your test:
