Hi,

after updating to the hardy kernel the "wlan" and "mic" stop working, 
they have to be reconfigured (see end mail).
Now everything "important" works :-) except the 3D graphic :-( .

Hardy's kernel (2.6.24)

- INSTALL
# Read: "Getting the ALSA drivers from a *fresh* kernel"
# Remove problematic sound packages and reinstall them
# Watch out it can happen that the package "gdm" and "ubuntu-desktop" 
are removed

$ apt-get --purge remove linux-sound-base alsa-base alsa-utils
$ apt-get install gdm ubuntu-desktop linux-sound-base alsa-base alsa-utils
