Nop, just replace eeepc-laptop.c, you'll need a recent kernel (if
possible 2.6.32)

Something looking like 1201N

You can just do that:
rmmod eeepc-laptop
insmod drivers/platform/x86/eeepc-laptop.ko

a full dmesg after insmod, the dsdt (using acpidump), and the output
of dmidecode.

For temperature I don't know. But the /platform/eeepc/ files may not
be here because of the rfkill notifier bug.
