I don't have more weird screen problems here, but I'm still using Ubuntu
Classic, rather than Unity. My guess would be that these are unrelated
indeed.

Also noteworthy: I'm experiencing less screen issues when waking from
suspend too, with 2.6.39-rc4. It used to lead to permanent black screen
in about 90% of the cases before.

The wireless appears to be working fine here, using the wl driver. I'm
attaching the output of "lspci", "lshw -class network", and an extract
from "dmesg" so you can compare the hardware specs and results.

BTW, it turns out that the issue was fixed as of 2.6.39-rc1, so you
could try any of the 2.6.39 kernels after rc1, in case you get different
results with the wifi. You could even try the oneiric builds, which
contain the latest rc7 kernel.
