It works!

But you need to do some of this ...

1) Install Drivers Manually following

2) Add a auto-update script to automatically reinstall kernel modules upon kernel update/replacement: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=835573
OR
1) Instead simply add drivers from Nvidia from ppa: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1771806
(BOTH WAYS WORK)

WLAN:

wget http://wireless.kernel.org/download/compat-wireless-2.6/compat-wireless-2.6.tar.bz2

Card reader
Have not gotten a chance to use it yet so I don't know. But I suspect that if it is not working this will help: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=11065709&postcount=7

Sorry I don't know and don't use it.

This will mostly apply to pretty much the entire line of G73 (some G73 use ATI video cards though) and G53 series of laptops including G73SW G73Jw G53SX G53SW G53Jw. G73Jh uses ATI video chip. I also suspect that above will apply to G74SX. Some of this may apply to G51Jx as well.
