The cause is, that new _OSI for windows 7 in the 2.6.32 kernel added. The EEE PC ACPI doesn't knew about windows 7. Patch is:
acpi/blacklist: enable OSI(Linux) on newer eeepc
patch from git://git.iksaif.net/acpi4asus.git.

Here is another patch, that fix rfkill-handler too:

status on latest .32 and .33?
Comment by Andrej Gelenberg (nikel) - Monday, 01 March 2010, 13:31 GMT
Not there. We schould wait for new WMI-based driver (i have no idea when it will be done). Workaround: add acpi_osi=Linux to boot options.
