Last time I installed 8.10 beta it screwed up the driver for built-in wireless of XPS M1330. Once it suspends it will never wakes up that wireless either. I got something working and if I were the end user I would have been more than happy to upgrade and hack around but unfortunately I bought this for my wife and I can tell at times she doesn't look happy with it...
