For the bluetooth I installed “blueman” from sinaptic. For the audio and mic I add this line “options snd-hda-intel model=3stack position_fix=1 enable=yes” to the bottom of alsa-base.conf with the command sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf.
I have to say that this laptop works great in ubuntu 10.04.
