I have the same issue, Joel.  It is the latter.  Everything else works well.  
One thing that I had problems with was automounting USB media.  The solution 
was that mount had to be SUID, a default in Kununtu, but not so with Ubuntu 
eee.  Now that I have made that change only the camera is not working.
