Do Ubuntu use Debian kernels? If so, it may be relevant that (afaik) Debian have decided that 2.6.17 is going to be the etch kernel (or, at least, they've done a -2 package for it).
Nope - they use thier own with lots of firmware and foo in it to make all your hardware "magically" work. They're usually a little quicker than Debian at mangling in newer kernels too, but then 3 arches versus 11 makes that slightly easier ;)
