Current Issues
-The therm_adt746x is not loaded by default, neither in the installer nor in the installed system. That makes the fan to stay ALWAYS off. Careful! modprobing therm_adt746x solves the problem.
-Some problems handing the wireless card.
-Some problem with sleep.

Notes
* Some Problems with the Wireless Card: sometime you need to restart to get it working again. ** Firmware must be installed separately. Relatively slow and buggy. The GUI tools rarely works.
(feisty 7.04) nm-applet seems to work pretty reliably now for both wired and wireless. Occasional failures on resume from sleep with wireless.
