BTW, I've added bluetooth control (a very minor change) to eeepc-laptop.ko, based upon more recent (and deprecated) eeepc-acpi.ko code to my local clone of ubuntu-intrepid.git:

    EEEPC: Added bluetooth attribute to /sys/devices/platform/eeepc/bt
    accessible through eeepc-laptop module, just like deprecated eeepc-acpi module.

Eventually this can be used to switch the built-in bluetooth radio on/off in this eeepc-laptop module, too, without the need of user-space ACPI scripts. Unfortunately, I cannot test this patch directly as I don't have an EeePC 901/1000/1000h.

If someone with one could apply it and verify if "/sys/devices/platform/eeepc/bt" is created, and writing 0 or 1 will disable/enable it. (Devices that lack on-board bluetooth should not see this file.)
