I've actually got quite a few, two of which are pretty critical.
* Laptop Locks up on lid close. Can't provide debugging info because
network interfaces are currently not working:
http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=14737
* Wireless connectivity is limited to about 10 seconds after each boot.
A firmware error immediately takes the wireless interface down
repeatedly after that:
http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=15796
* My Marvell Yukon wired NIC has no driver in the kernel, forces people
to install from wireless which as pointed out is currently in an awful
state of flux.
http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=13421
* Card reader doesn't work at all:
http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=14733
* Hot keys are all not functioning but I can't attach a copy of my dsdt
due to the lack of network connectivity:
http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=14493

Some of these issues are being looked at, but I believe most of these
will require some work to get done by Breezy release. The Marvell Yukon
NIC is being fiddled with by somebody, but I haven't been able to get
word of anything other than "It's being worked on."

I'm currently in the process of trying to reboot and quickly updated my
kernel in hopes of the newer version fixing the wireless problem. I
can't reinstall with a new image because it took me the better part of 5
hours to install the last time due to wireless problems.

Wish I could be more helpful but I'm basically stuck transferring logs
and whatnot from the laptop to another machine and sending from there.
But in some cases this doesn't work and my ability to help is limited.

On a positive note, Breezy is working beautifully on my Inspiron 5150 :)
