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 update kernel from the official sources (as per 7.01.2010 right after installation - kernel 2.6.31-17-generic)
Same
Further updates for 9.10
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).
3. Somehow sound has got disappeared at some point (after update or graphics module update - don't remember) - after some magic manipulations/packages re-installation (codecs/players) and selecting PulseAudio as default output in KDE i managed to get it working back.
Right after Ubuntu 10.04 installation
1. Wireless doesn't work 2. Generic VESA video resolution
Further updates for 10.04
1. sudo mkdir /etc/Wireless ; sudo mkdir /etc/Wireless/RT2860STA ; sudo touch /etc/Wireless/RT2860STA/RT2860STA.dat ; reboot - wireless works perfectly (rt3090sta module needed this file, well - its been given to it)
2. Update video driver (http://code.google.com/p/gma500/wiki/PPARepository) - video works perfectly
