Painful but doable!

All working (graphics, sound, Ethernet, USB) but webcam (although at some point of time during my trials and errors, it was properly working, so there must be a way...) and wifi. I just received a spare card I have not had time to test yet.
 
Are you successful in putting lion on this system, as I was planning buying one?
