Hi Wong,
It's nice to see that someone else is still working with one of these!
Thanks for the suggestion. I did a search for the part number of the screen and found some for around $100. It seems to be fairly easy to get. And it looks like the digitizer is actually behind the screen and is not adhered, so it shouldn't be hard to switch it.
The only reason I haven't yet ordered a screen is that I've been hoping someone would tell me it's probably the cable, since I know that these were failure prone.
As for Obuntu:
The newest image wouldn't even boot for me. You got a lot further than I did. I believe that I did follow the same procedure that's described for the newest build.
It sounds like you may have a broken distribution. Most things work out of the box. However, if you want to try fixing it, you can download on a computer the .deb packages you need, copy to your sdcard, and install them using dpkg. (You shouldn't have to compile anything)
I assume that you checked dmesg to see if the wireless adapter is recognized, and, if so, ifconfig?
