This kind of things is present on all newer eeepc.
I tried to contact asus about that, without real success and it is
likely that the xandros distribribution
shipped with some eeepc include an acpi blacklisiting patch.

The thing is that on win7 ASUS010 is disabled, but an equivalent wmi
interface is enable, and it could
be possible to write a driver for it. Now, someone need to write it,
or send me a free 1005HA so I can do it :).

If nothing is done for 2.6.34, we may need to envisage some blacklisting :/.
Thanks
