Okay, let's revisit this one. Looking at the code and the codec, it looks like model=ideapad *should* have worked for the mic stuff (as suggested in #33). Could you please verify:
 - Install Maverick
 - Install https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio/InstallingLinuxAlsaDriverModules
 - reboot
 - verify that the neither internal nor external mic is working
 - paste an alsa-info into the bug, with the external mic plugged in? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio/AlsaInfo

Thanks!

Further research gives an explanation to my comment #42 is that in Karmic had no special support for this codec, which meant that a generic driver was used instead. This generic "fallback" driver is seldom used, but in this case it seemed to have worked ok...
