This is entirely irrelevant unless you yourself allow religious people to rule over your life. The catholic church claims that everyone who is baptized cannot "really" leave the church. Well, I was baptized, I left the church, and I am not a christian whatever the pope may think.
Muslims claim that [...] if you leave the muslim faith, sharia law demands your execution.
Some muslims believe that apostasy must be punished. Admittedly, they are currently in some powerful positions, but the situation would be better if the US governments hadn't put them into power all the time.
Waiting is certainly a good idea if you don't want surprises. The people who jump on the update 5 minutes after release and then complain about some things going wrong need a reality check.
Is your Ubuntu experience with 8.10? Asking because kernel 2.6.27 supports many more wifi chips and IIRC Atheros support has improved a lot. Also, network manager is much better now. It's cheap to try with a Desktop (live) CD
I see, many thanks. That will be helpful. Might it have something to do with this issue in the other reply I got? If so, there might be other ways than using the vesa driver. (Also, can't you use nv? That should work decently at least for 2D and on most cards)
Just FYI, you can change the setting to be prompted for all new releases, not just LTS, by changing the setting in Software Sources.
Re the wireless light, this was "fixed" in the new kernel at least for the iwl3945 module. Unfortunately, it is now worse: the light will now indicate traffic, and so will flash all the time for me, which is very annoying (bug filed)
Too bad Nvidia didn't fix their driver in time for the 8.10 release.
Could you specify what issue you have? Because the release notes just mention that nvidia dropped support for some older cards in their new drivers (which are needed because of the new xorg), and I doubt that nvidia considers this a bug. OTOH, I have seen nvidia issues with Geforce 6100 card on the ubuntu-users list and on Launchpad, I'd like to know more.
You people need to start thinking about production, too. The constant talk about recycling forgets that those things don't fall from the sky, the lithium has to be mined.
LOL. And a little correction: The Ledl was (ill-)conceived in the 80ies, but the electrification of this particular copy started in the 90ies. An enthusiast bought it a few years ago and continues to "improve" it.

Netbooks do not run on ARM
...yet. I suggest a Google search for "arm netbook -ubuntu"
Also, do muslims regard Obama as a muslim?

Anyway, if you do upgrade/install, watch out for this: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/810#Atheros%20ath5k%20wireless%20driver%20not%20enabled%20by%20default
How did you upgrade? Did the upgrade finish? Any error messages? Drop into the ubuntu-users mailing list and we'll try to help.

You might be interested in Ubuntu 8.10, the new network manager was vastly improved and the linux 2.6.27 supports a bunch more wifi cards
Hi, Dotan ;)
I just tried to make him pissed off. The mod didn't get it either though, so don't worry ;)
thx again. Is this info in the relevant bug reports? Otherwise it would be great if you could add it.
Many thanks.

Will an AR5007 card work with 8.10 right out of the box? Or else I'm not going to bother with it if I can't even get a internet connection.

What can Ubuntu do it the kernel did not support it in earlier versions? Go complain to your hardware manufacturer.

GNU/Linux
they release come-what-may without a feature list.
That's just not true, at least the part about "without a feature list".

Does it fix the annoying wireless disconnect issue
Um, how are we supposed to know about what issues you have? Did you file a bug? Then check its status. Otherwise, well, pray.
It will probably be available in the backports repo for 8.04 and 8.10. And there is a semi-official ppa repo for 8.10 now (google for it).
It's not been brown since, uh, 3 years. And I never got what is wrong with brown, anyway. Lots of stuff is brown. Tree trunks, anyone?
Um, doc files? ppt? xls?
And to do this effectively, they need to profile you. It's what they do with all other services, too.
Oh, and # of lead-acid batteries in cars:1
# of li-ion cells in a laptop: 6
# of li-ion cells in a Tesla: 6,831
No, those promoting this stuff should stop acting as if it changed anything fundamentally. It's the same on a new basis.
