I compiled the ASUS source on my desktop machine, then copied
asus_acpi.ko to the Eee and replaced the one in /lib/modules/...  Then
ran "depmod -a" and modprobe'd it and it worked fine. I see this in
the log when the module is inserted:
    Asus EEEPC HOTKEY
    [eeepc hotk] Hotkey init flags 0x41.
    [eeepc hotk] Get control methods supported : 0x101711

I am also using the patched madwifi driver.  I installed the
madwifi-source package, then untarred, patched, and retarred the
/usr/src/madwifi.tar.bz2 file, so I could use module-assistant to
produce a .deb for the driver.
