Confident that any other driver is not coming soon . I went on to
install the ralink-firmware package which has the broken driver for 30
kernel.

Here are my observations:

* Driver works perfectly on a freshly booted machine .
*when the lid of my eee pc was closed I was aware that the freeze will occur .
* I opened up my eee-pc to find that it burnt my hand :(
*Really got heated up and was not shutting down . I had to remove the battery .

Well acpi scripts for EEE 901 are doing pretty nasty things :(

I am using EEE 901 ( UK keyboard) with debian sid upgraded 5 hours
back . I installed formware ralink driver 3 hours back . Hope that
information is sufficient. Shall I paste some logs?

Regards,
Pavithran
