This module will be safe even after further kernel updates (at least it was, and hopefully it will). Or you can just download the package from this build page and have it for manual installation if something goes wrong.

Current Issues

Front microphone doesn't work neither after installation nor updates. Annoying messages about mmc card timeouts - in fact you can't use text console because of it. And your syslog just swells up.

Notes

So, finally all is perfect except front micro which is very handy for voice chats, sad.

Right after Ubuntu 9.10 installation

1. Wireless doesn't work 2. Generic VESA video resolution (acceleration doesn't work)

After updates from the official sources (as per 7.01.2010 right after installation - kernel 2.6.31-17-generic)

Same things Smile :)

Further updates

1. Update from deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/markus-tisoft/rt3090/ubuntu karmic main deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/markus-tisoft/rt3090/ubuntu karmic main gives WiFi working properly (see https://launchpad.net/~markus-tisoft/+archive/rt3090) Or you can just download the package from this build page and have it for manual installation if something goes wrong. The card already supported in kernel 2.6.33 staging modules though, not in Ububtu supplied kernel.

2. After this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsVideoCardsPoulsbo/ (i've done old style steps) graphics works exactly as it used to work and acceleration works properly - fullscreen glxgears 70 fps (thanks, guys). And sound gets disappeared - probably after the update at step 1 (new kernel).
