Ubuntu provides a 2.6.8 kernel in Warty Warthog and a 2.6.10 (so far
but will almost certainly be upgraded prior to release) kernel in
Hoary Hedgehog. Although it should be noted that RH pretty much
distribute the -ac patchset on top of everything. I'm unsure what
Ubuntu's kernel team adds although I know they're currently looking
for volunteers in that area.
