For example, I have Ubuntu 13.04 on a 18-month old Lenovo laptop. During the install it picked up and used the WiFi just fine, downloaded updates etc. However once installed the WiFi just stopped working and I had to cable it into the router to get an internet connection and then figure out how to obtain 'additional drivers' to get it working. WTF was wrong with the ones you used during the install!
