Current Issues
Wifi doesn't work out of the box in Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy), although the restricted broadcom driver recognises the card the correct way. Using this [https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Feisty_No-Fluff Ndiswrapper] solution, it works like a charm.
For Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy), I had to add
install ndiswrapper modprobe -r ohci_hcd ssb; modprobe --ignore-install ndiswrapper $CMDLINE_OPTS; modprobe ohci_hcd
to
/etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper
and then following these [https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Feisty_No-Fluff directions].
Hibernation didn't seem to work the first time I used it; when I tried to reproduce the error the system hibernated right away...
Inserting a headphone doesn't mute the built-in speakers, but the headphone is functioning correctly. See below at 'notes' for the solution that worked for me.

Notes
Desktop Effects in Gnome
Desktop effects don't work because of the blacklisted video chipset (Intel GMA 965). There is a workaround available (comment-out this chipset from the blacklist)but I havn't tried that yet.
Sound-buttons F9 - F12
Sound buttons are only active when a musicplayer like rhytmbox is opened. It doesn't have to be the active program. (tested with Rhytmbox).
Headphone Jack Sense
Headphone-Jack sense (makes the built-in speakers turn off when you insert headphones) is working after I did this: (thanks to jubjubrsx in this [http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=500894&highlight=headphone+jack+mute Ubuntuform-thread] :
sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
add the line
options snd-hda-intel model=laptop
where you see all the other options. Restart X.
