Well, there are 3 different issues with the 1005PE model, which are related.
First, Win7 compatible bios, check if the eeepc-laptop module is loaded: lsmod | grep eee If not, you'll need this kernel parameter: acpi_osi=Linux Second, to fix the brightness, another parameter: acpi_backlight=vendor Finally, the actual bug, as described in acpi4asus git: http://git.iksaif.net/?p=acpi4asus.git;a=commit;h=ced69c59811f05b2f8378467cbb82ac6ed3c6a5a To work around the problem, disable hotplugging with this parameter: eeepc_laptop.hotplug_disabled=1 Summarizing, add the needed parameters to your Grub, see below, and update: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi_osi=Linux acpi_backlight=vendor eeepc_laptop.hotplug_disabled=1" Happy hacking. -- [Lucid] [EeePC 1005PE] Wi-Fi disable hotkey kills both Wi-Fi and ethernet https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/557048 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
