If you use the linuxant driver, try the generic package with source. It simply works with any kernel. You'll find it here: http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full/downloads.php Take the one in DPKG format. Uninstall the other one before using the generic one. Folow the instructions and reboot. It worked for me when i was using ubuntu with generic kernel in the past.
You also asked about recent distribution that works out of the box for the toshiba P100. Mandriva 2008 and Opensuse 10.3 works very well as they use kernel 2.6.22, so there is sound!. Modem also works with those distro. I tried both and found them as easy as ubuntu to use. Opensuse takes a long time to install, but mandriva is pretty straigtfoward to install. Good luck!
