Never did. Apparently, things are not supposed to work without
it but they did. Whether eeepc_laptop and eeepc_wmi were loaded,
I don't know.

I only tried setting acpi_osi when things broke after the
kernel/eeepc-acpi-tools upgrade.

Latest results :

#1 eeepc-acpi-tools 1.1.11, kernel 2.6.32, acpi_osi="Linux" :
  eeepc_laptop	loaded
  eeepc_wmi	not loaded
  Fn-F7		no-op
  Fn-F1		no-op
  lid down	no-op
  guessnet	reconfigure eth0 on wake-up

  In this configuration, modprobe eeepc_wmi gives :
    "Module not found"

#2 eeepc-acpi-tools 1.1.11, kernel 2.6.38, acpi_osi="Linux" :
  eeepc_laptop	loaded
  eeepc_wmi	not loaded
  Fn-F7		no-op
  Fn-F1		no-op
  lid down	no-op
  guessnet	reconfigure eth0 on wake-up

  In this configuration, modprobe eeepc_wmi gives :
    wmi: Mapper loaded
    eeepc_wmi: No known WMI GUID found
    FATAL: Error inserting eeepc_wmi (/lib/modules/2.6.38-2-686/
      kernel/drivers/platform/x86/eeepc-wmi.ko): No such device

Think of all the spam you'd be getting if the Debian project
published your email address ! Aren't you glad they don't ?
