Bug Description
it is not exactly clear to me what triggers this, but it's absolutely reproducible (big Thank You to SynrG from #eeepc for telling me how to fix this). Ethernet works fine when booting the ASUS 1001P pinetrail netbook from one of the live CD, but my legacy karmic system (lucid kernel!) on HD booted from USB will not show the ethernet device in lspci or ifconfig unless giving the kernel the boot param eeepc_laptop.
I think we should have a fix for this in lucid and possibly in karmic as well. These are cheap and popular devices that many newcomers will use for taking Ubuntu for a test drive.

We can make sure that this is available in Maverick, since this is not a critical bug to SRU, I am afraid it will not apply to Lucid.
