I recently purchased an Asus eee 1005HA netbook. After searching around for an ubuntu equivalent of the Asus Super Hybrid Engine, I found a program called eee control as seen here http://greg.geekmind.org/eee-control/

However when go to install it on Ubuntu 9.10 I keep getting this error:

Unpacking eee-control (from eee-control_0.9.4_all~karmic_unofficial.deb) ...
dpkg: error processing eee-control_0.9.4_all~karmic_unofficial.deb (--install):
error creating directory `data/etc': No such file or directory
dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)
Errors were encountered while processing:
eee-control_0.9.4_all~karmic_unofficial.deb

Somebody help please! Thanks!
