Well, the interesting thing is that the wireless card is not what causes
the issue, however, I don't use the Fn-F2 wireless toggle command
anyways, so in my case I will keep it disabled on mine.

Status in Ubuntu Eee: Incomplete

Bug description:
I recently installed Ubuntu eee 8.04.1 on my Asus eee 901, and as I try to save 
the battery life as much as possible, I typically keep the ethernet disabled in 
the BIOS. However, I believe I had it enabled when I installed the OS on it. 
After about a day of use with everything but the wireless disabled, I got 
errors when trying to download files because the disk was full. I had put /home 
on the 16gb partition and the rest of / on the 4gb. When investigating this, I 
discovered that three log files in /var/log were enormous, syslog, kern.log and 
messages. I also noticed a repeating pciehp error when starting the notebook, 
but didn't originally worry about it since it didn't seem to affect anything. 
After I deleted those log files and reset the machine to get smaller ones (they 
were each about 700mb) I looked into them and noticed the same errors 
repeating. I have done some experimentation and determined that the errors only 
occur when the ethernet is disabled. Those three log files (but much smaller, I 
copied them very soon after I booted in order to get small ones) are attached 
to this bug report in a tar.gz.
