I just posted a blog entry about this particular problem on debian:

You may also want to look at debian's eeepc-acpi-scripts package, which adds some modprobe configuration:

0 pip:~# cat /etc/modprobe.d/eeepc
# module options specific for Asus EeePC

options pciehp pciehp_force=1 pciehp_slot_with_bus=1
0 pip:~#
