Ubuntu 10.04 LTS for DELL Vostro 3350

I got my newly arrived Dell vostro 3350 on Jun 29, 2011. I love its anti-glare LCD screen as well as the back-lit keyboard. It was smooth to install Ubuntu 10.04 LTS on it. Everything works after rebooting, except that the LCD resolution was incorrect; also, the Wireless LAN was not working.

Here are my workaround to have them work correctly:

VGA:

• Install backport-maverick kernel for LCD resolution detection (1366x768)
  sudo apt-get install linux-image-generic-pae-lts-backport-maverick \
  linux-headers-generic-pae-lts-backport-maverick
• Reboot
  

Wireless LAN:

• Build the compat-wireless device driver manually for backport-maverick kernel
• Here's the Building and Installing steps
  cd compat-wireless-`date -I`; make; sudo make install
  
• Reboot
