Yep, this is a known issue, the real solution would be to write a new
driver, but I don't have the hardware, so I may send a workaround to
set acpi_osi=Linux by default if such a driver does not appear before
2.6.34.

I'll also make a quick patch for your model and send you for testing
soon (for wlan hotplug, not acpi_osi).

Thanks,
