Currently testing: Dapper Drake Flight 5 (plus daily updates)
Current Issues
When trying to bring up the wireless interface card the card is unable to associate with the access point. dhclient is run and fail to retrieve an ip address.
The bug can be reproduced in Hoary, Breezy and Dapper Flight 5 + daily updates.
(Bug report [https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/ipw2100/+bug/30712 #30712])
UPDATE: I have not been able to reproduce this bug in Dapper Drake Flight 3 + 4. Though in Dapper Drake 5 it reappeared all the time and I have had to disable laptop-mode completely.
Unplugging the AC power from the computer will make the computer freeze after about a minute. However, the opposite - going from battery to AC power - is no problem. The bug can be reproduced over and over again. Also, this is true for both Ubuntu Hoary and Breezy!
Noticeably, a test with the Linux distribution "Mandriva Limited 2005" showed that the problem does not exist in Mandriva Linux. The computer will not freeze when unplugged from AC power thereby isolating the problem to Debian/Ubuntu.
Note - I (Mike) don't see this at all. Bug duplicate (6108) updated.

Notes
* Only by manually enabling this.
** Turns off screen and when lid is opened the "lock screen" dialogue appears. I suppose the correct behavior would be for the computer to go to sleep or hibernate when lid is closed.
*** Tested and worked in last Dapper Flight release
**** When the monitor is plugged in it just says 'Cannot Display This Video Mode' in both Breezy and in Dapper Flight 6 with all updates. However thinkwiki says the ATI Mobility Radeon 9000 should just work 'Works well, you only have to connect the monitor/projector/...'. By default the open ati driver is used in both versions.
