Notes

TI card reader

Fix on Edgy: 

sudo gedit /etc/modules

Add these lines: 

tifm_core
tifm_7xx1
tifm_sd

Soundcard

sometimes you boot and it won't have any sound at all until the next boot (might take a few to bring it back) Sound works fine on Feisty

Fix (or workaround) which works on Edgy (someone please test on Dapper) 

sudo gedit /etc/modules

Add this: 

options snd-hda-intel model=m2-2

Wired internet

The driver's not very good and dies at high throughput, but there's no fix for it. All you can do when it happens is 

sudo rmmod sky2
sudo modprobe sky2
