Edit /etc/default/grub to remove acpi_osi=Linux acpi_backlight=vendor from the kernel command line, run

sudo update-grub

Ensure that eeepc-wmi is not blacklisted, reboot, then follow the steps mentioned in <https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/662365/comments/29> to build the fixed eeepc-wmi. Unload Ubuntu's broken eeepc-wmi

sudo modprobe -r eeepc-wmi

and install and load the fixed one. Please note that loading pciehp is not needed and will fail as pciehp is built-in in Ubuntu kernels.

If rt2860sta misbehaves when disabling wireless, this should be a bug in rt2860sta. rt2800pci causes no problems, but requires a kernel at or greater than 2.6.37.
