I upgrated to Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon now that the production release is out. The upgrade went without a hitch. The screen brightness still doesn't work. However, I finally RFM'd and WPA2 wifi worked flawlessly using the Netgear 511 wifi card.

The main trick to getting WPA2 working was selecting "Connect to other wireless network" off the network manager menu. Intuitively I would thing that network manager would prompt me for a password if it either didn't work or recognized the connection as WPA2.
