Hello!
I have now changed /etc/init.d/eeepc-acpi-scripts to fix the issues
with WLAN toggle on the EeePC 900A. The fix is quite trivial, the
script now checks if it's running on a 900A and enables pciehp until
kernel verision 2.6.32. It has been tested on a 900A and does work as
expected.
A patch against the git-HEAD is included as provided by "git
format-patch". It inlcudes the changes in
/etc/init.d/eeepc-acpi-scripts and a description in the changelog file.
Please let me know if there is anything more I should provide or what
is still missing for patch inclusion. Since this is the first patch I
send in I more or less expect some "room for improvement"
So here is the patch-
regards,
Andreas

Subject: [PATCH 1/1] Fix WLAN toggle using fn-F2 on EeePC 900A. This
EeePC model needs to
load the pciehp kernel module with the pciehp_force=1 option up to kernel
version 2.6.32. /etc/init.d/eeepc-acpi-script now checks if it is running
on a 900A and loads the module accordingly.
