Comment 37 for bug 187671

I do have problems with my Intel 3945 wlan card, see bug #285128. It depends on the network you connect to, bear that in mind!

I've also experienced bugs #292194 (fixed in intrepid-proposed) and #276311 (fixed by disabling the magnifier plugin in compiz), and I'll have to see if there exists any report regarding issues with external monitors and the gnome application that handles them.

In my opinion the problem is that Intrepid tries to be on the bleeding edge, and in doing so it has triggered a large number of regressions. Kernel 2.6.27 and Xorg 7.4 are behind most of these. Once these are sorted out Intrepid will be great, I'm sure, but I don't recommend upgrading for another couple of weeks unless you want to help with fixing the bugs. This also explains why this thread is not getting more attention from maintainers.

@eldragon: have you followed the wiki guide for compiling a custom kernel? It's at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile
