I just tried the Hardy beta disk, downloaded yesterday.

I think the 8139too problem is resolved. However, the disk still doesn't boot as a live CD on these laptops, because of the SDHCI module (see numerous comments above). But I am pretty sure that 8139too got loaded successfully first. Not positive, but pretty sure.

I tried putting
    sdhci.blacklist=yes
on the boot line (when the CD comes up, F6 and remove "quiet=yes" and "splash" from the boot options, add "sdhci.blacklist=yes", no quotes), but this doesn't prevent the SDHCI module from being loaded. Here's the web page that suggested this: http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/manual/en.i386/ch05s02.html Maybe this would work if booting normally (off the hard drive) but it doesn't seem to work with the live CD.

Anyway, when Hardy comes out, at least those of us who managed to get previous versions of Ubuntu installed by using alternative install CDs can probably upgrade to Hardy and use the kernels provided by Ubuntu.
