Well, that's depressing. I'm wrestling with making wireless (Atheros AR928X) and sound (RealTek 272) work together on an Acer Aspire 5532. The older kernel breaks wireless and half-breaks sound; the newer one breaks sound altogether but wireless works fine. Aside: I don't know about user-friendly, but Ubuntu is certainly becoming more like Windows—half the time, the solution to weird problems is to reboot. -- ams
