I aassume you mean the patch to eeepc-acpi-scripts.

Can you also try the stock unstable kernel (2.6.30)? That would be 
appreciated by unstable users.

The current code in the init script says:
    # Load pciehp if required.
    # There are three recognised cases:
    # - kernel 2.6.26 & older: two parameters required
    # - kernel 2.6.27 & .28  : one of those parameters has been removed
    # - kernel 2.6.29 & newer: hotplugging is handled in eeepc-laptop

This means pciehp_force=1 is used on anything prior to 2.6.29 (plus 
pciehp_slot_with_bus=1 with 2.6.26 and older).

Does this sound right for madwifi (.26) and ath5k (.27+)?


On related note, I see the eeepc-acpi-scripts patch removed 
workarounds that are not necessary and only add noise. The real fix 
for the ath5k problems is in eeepc-laptop, right? What is the status 
of your patch to that? Also, until the patch reaches Debian, is there 
other workaround we may want to implement in eeepc-acpi-scripts?


Thanks for your work on this issue!
