Thanks.  I don't see any problem here.

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.
