I did specify that NO WIFI was available.  Each of the problems are a
show stopper for me - that is why I have been so frustrated with the new
release so that instead of getting a new run of the mill cheaper laptop
I went for the more expensive Sys76 which is geared for Linux (it is on
its way from CA to NY).

Prior  to the upstream with rc6 I tried to install one of the Quantal
kernels but it would not install.  I have not tested Quantal yet but
will do so today or tomorrow and let you know.

I have done three fresh installs of Precise and two of Mint (never used
Mint before and still prefer xUbuntu).

Note that on the Lenovo-Y530 initially, before Nappy, I had to download
a driver from Intel for wifi to work.  I have not retried this but did
try copying some libs hoping that would work.  After trying that and
failing I did a re-install at least once.

If I am the only one complaining about this problem then let sleeping
dogs lie.   However it is strange that after two years of solid
performance all these problems suddenly recur - yes, I had problems with
sound, suspend/hibernation before, several times.
