Ahh I thought you were using a different piece of hardware all together ( according to wikipedia some eee pc's use atheros chipsets and some use ralink chipsets http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASUS_Eee_PC#Specifications)
It might be helpful if you post the lines from /var/log/daemon.log that have NetworkManager in them
also the output from tail -f /var/log/kern.log
as you disable and (try) to renable the wireless on your netbook.
