Hi I notice that the bug mentioned on the wiki wrt 1005ha also applies 1001ha. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14570 (I think these models are quite similar.)
My symptoms are that if I disable wireless via hotkeys (rfkill?) _and reboot_ then the wired interface does not appear in lspci and consequently doesn't work. Re-enabling wifi and rebooting fixes it. Just disabling wifi doesn't kill the network card whilst the machine is running. I report this as I have not seen exactly these symptoms described anywhere so there may be some difference. Applying the kernel patch listed above and disabling hotplug for the eee module appears to fix the problem. Am I losing any functionality by doing this? I can't see how I could hotplug anthing that eee cares about anyway! As a sidenote, the wiki model page has a ? for silver hotkeys for the model (I wonder if I am the only debian user using it as it appears to have been quite a shortlived model.) I have one silver hotkey that isn't the power button. This button is for disabling the keypad and only worked for me after I hacked the script which detected kernel version. Perhaps my kernel version is in a different format because it is not a debian kernel?? I intend to upgrade to squeeze in the near future so will hold off reporting this problem seriously until then, in case something has changed. Finally, some months ago I was discussing the wifi module for this driver (rt3090sta) with this group. I have been away (still am...) and will get back to this on my return. The plan was to submit bug reports quickly but sometimes life gets in the way! I hope this information is of some use!
