Power management
I had a issue with Gnome power manager shutting the laptop down when I unplugged the mains charger, regardless of battery state. The following fixes this annoying behavior.

Launch gconf-editor from a terminal and navigate to /apps/gnome-power-manager/general. uncheck the use_time_for_policy box.

Wireless
There is one last thing to get the wireless card to work. The firmware for the card has to be placed into the folder. Download the file from here. It is labeled "RT3090PCIe" and the download file offered was named 2010_1217_RT3090_LinuxSTA_V2.4.0.4_WiFiBTCombo_DPO.zip.

After downloading the file, extract it and place the rt2860.bin in the folder, renaming it rt3090.bin in the process.

Ethernet
Supported by the r8169 module.

Function Keys
Appear to just work out the box.

Webcam
It works with mplayer and v4l2, but it doesn't seem to work with v4l1. The LED left of the webcam is lit when the webcam is capturing (as it should).

It should work with other applications as long as they use v4l2. It was reported to work with Skype.

Card reader
The card reader is a ENE usb UB6260. Pushing a sd card into it makes it power on and appear on the usb bus. A lsusb -v -d 0cf2 gives the following. Bus 001 Device 005: ID 0cf2:6250 ENE Technology, Inc.

As of kernel 2.6.37 the keucr drivers are available in the staging section of the kernel config.
